paladin 300 frame

[Dfgoblin]

received my paladin 300 was looking the frame over and found passenger side engine cradle frame weld onto double box frame excessive gap. the weld gap from main frame to engine cradle is about 2mm from frame and depth of weld is about 3mm below the engine cradle top of frame level. iam thinking maybe ask for a new frame i wouldnt mind tearing it down and swapping parts . that some work though what would you do roll it or ask for help?

If its a new bike I would ask a replacement bike,who knows what else they missed.

It would help me if someone can send pictures of the same welds on the paladin 300. Of this is normal or not.

That almost looks like it broke after welding and then got painted. I'd see if they would send you a new frame; ride it while you wait and then swap it out when you have time.

Iam going to roll with the frame I got. Other then those welds they seem fairly decent.

You can "roll with it", but why not reach out to the supplier with some photos. If your gonna go with it, no harm if they won't help, but maybe they will?

Busy this week I’ll catch them next week and ask to help.your right can’t hurt

I emailed powersportsmax about the frame waiting on response so I can send pictures. It maybe something the manufacturer may need to address Iam sure they have professionals welders overlooking quality control but the gap I got seems the tube notch and weld gap are excessive. Requesting a frame replacement.
