Years of Warranty for chassis
Guys,,
- any one has any idea about how many years the chassis as essential part should be under warranty,?

First of all, welcome to the forum. With you being in Egypt, I am unsure of your legal options as far as compensation for a bad frame. I imagine that the defect is not catastrophic if you have ridden it for 9.5k kilometers and have not noticed any handling issues.
One option to consider is to take the bike to a TIG welder and see if they can weld the defect. They will need to "pull back" the paint around the area to weld it. At this time they should be able to tell if the metal has fractured around the perimeter of the frame's tubing.
Good luck with fixing your bike. Hopefully you can get it fixed so you can begin to enjoy it once again.

Is it as simple as getting a GOOD welder and have it repaired that way? I've seen frame issues on this forum like that in the past here and that was the usual suggestion.
Some how on a bike with that few miles and that obvious spot where it is easy to see, I don't know that is weird.
Good luck

Blv me,, no one noticed when I show to many riders, unless I pen point it .... it is very difficult to notice it on your own,,,
If I would have seen it from the beginning, I would not even buy it or receive it from the dealer...
any way,,, I can't touch the chassis at this point until HD finish the case...
