What the...? Has that been broken off and stuck back on with sikaflex?

[monkeybiker]

Think you'll need another sump.

[doggone]

Some engines have a section you can unbolt at the bottom, in which case might not be total disaster.
It could possibly be welded or something - at some cost.

Does this show the part that broke off?

Might need a new #9. Maybe look on ebay? Partzilla is useful for finding parts that are used across a range of bike models.

Good luck. I hope you aren't off the road for long!

Get it welded, easy enough job. I've welded three thin-section oil sumps in the last month and I'm a novice.

A few on ebay. Unless you can find someone who will weld it cheap I would just change it.

Hi

With that many on ebay it looks like a common problem with them.

Even a new one isn't badly priced really. Very common bike so ebay bargains galore.
