Has anyone cracked their engine cradle before? I took my speed out on saturday, normal riding, not any big jumps and when I put back in the truck I noticed a small crack in front of my right motor mount! Can this be welded or has it been heat treated like the main frame on the dale's?

mine has cracked, this was one of cannondales last bullitins, hence the motor mount update was supposed to help it, i had mine welded, motor mount update and shimmed everything tight and tightened it down, holding together so far

Are we talking motor mount on the case of the motor ... or are we talking the engine cradle (that goes under motor)?

The engine cradle itself. I do not know how it would crack there but it did. Better the cradle than the engine!

Anymore cradles? I also cracked mine and I'm looking into getting it welded.
