has this happened to any one before?
Hi guys, I am shattered. I have a cracked right hand crank case. its where the engine is bolted to the frame at the rear.
the crack runs from the join in the middle down the back towards the neutral switch then under the bolt hole and ends behind the breahter tower.
to my horror i also discovered the engine bolt had sheared the nut.
Question is, is it worth a proper fix i.e. new case, complete engine strip and weld. or weld up in situ with new bolt?
It only happened about fifty kms ag, after hitting a sharp dip in the road.
AS luck would have it I had three days in the hills organized with some mates next week.
it still runs fine, but I need to fix pronto as it is my work transport, my reason for living............................
oh, its a 94/5 900, has less than 40,000 ks and ive had it for just over a year. mileage is debateable, I bought it from a dealer but thats another issue.
keen to hear if it has happened to any one else.
thanks , Daniel.
