Well I managed to knock my dads bike off the stand, very little damage really but what there is is a crack in the engine casing.
Can this be repaired or is it a case of getting a new one.
It's a GSX750F and i wondered if the GSX ones will fit it?

Take it you hope he doesn't find out?

You know it. Neutral

I have a couple of months to fix it so i'm not in to much of a rush. Do wanna get it done ASAP though tbh.

A new one would be the best bet.

Yes, it needs to be replaced because these parts are casted metal and you can't patch them as the stresses on the engine will open the crack again. Were you actually sitting on it and caused it to fall ? Cool

You either need to get that part replaced from a breaker but it's best to get a new one.

What do you mean by casing - what part of the engine area are we talking about and do you happen to have a pic of it so that we can advise you of how big a cost it's possibly going to be ?

Its got a crack in at the bottom. One off a 600cc one wont be the same as a 750cc one will it?

Hi

Think they are around £65 (just from a comment on an Ebay listing).

Suspect the 600 and 750 ones are the same, but might well be a different colour.

All the best

Hehe, nice one mate Very Happy

Hope you get away with it Thumbs Up

Although to be honest, you've done the right thing fixing it for him thus far, so I'd personally just tell him. This is of course based on my Dad though, I have no idea what yours may be like Very Happy

(Oh, and the fact that I'm 30 so there's not that much he could do to me anyway Wink

What if you find the reason he hasn't ridden it hardly is because he has a cracked engine casing from it falling over! Razz

Jrod · Page 3 Girl Joined: 02 Aug 2004 Karma :

LOL, I dropped it and it started leaking? Wink

I tell him and I won't have a bike, Or he will knock mine over and say we are even. Rolling Eyes

You daft sod Very Happy

is the mirror, barend and lever OK then?

Jrod · Page 3 Girl Joined: 02 Aug 2004 Karma :

No.

Mirror is scratched but tbh its small and I can say it was like that when he got it.
(he didn't really lookat it, I did)

Bar end had a little scratch but hopefully I can just turn tht upside down (?)

Ball snapped off lever but I bought a new one off Ebay.

Flip · Super Spammer Joined: 28 Feb 2004 Karma :

Your new casing an official Suzuki one?

You prob get away with mirror and barend tho.

Confused

Jrod · Page 3 Girl Joined: 02 Aug 2004 Karma :

Yep, I got it off ebay, Mr. Green

It was off a bandit 600 and fitted fine. Smile

£65 though. Confused

Righty heres an update:

Fairings arrived today, I managed to peel off the GSXF badge and stick it onto my dads fairing so now I have 1 Mint fairing to sell, 1 mint one on the bike and one damaged one to sell Mr. Green

The best bit is, he signed for his own fairings and didnt even know it Laughing

I'm glad it was well packaged and didn't say what it was on it. Shifty

A lesson has been learnt from all this......... don't drop your dad's bike! Razz

And if you do don't tell him, ebay is your friend. Laughing

Why not actually tell him after you've fully repaired it, that way he'll be happy and trust you, maybe? Razz

Jrod · Page 3 Girl Joined: 02 Aug 2004 Karma :

Or not trust me for not being honest with him the whole time........ Rolling Eyes

And damage his confidence in my bike skills. Razz

He'll twig tomorrow when he sees upside down stickers on one side. Wink

He probally wouldn't even notice for a couple of months. Laughing
