Damn you ice. Broke bike, how fix?

[James83]

Found some ice, ice won. Usual damage, indicators gone, mirror gone, bodywork scuffed. Wouldn't have been to bad except for this:

According to this its a generator cover. However, all the oil in the bike pissed out of this hole before I was even on my feet. I thought generators would be separate to the oil system.

Full disclosure, I haven't been able to do anything with the bike beyond push it home yet, so its possible that the oil came from somewhere else, but I can't see any other (significant) damage.

Bike is a Kawasaki zx6r f3 (97)

So, my questions then:
What are dis?
If it is the generator cover, why did all the oil come out of it?
Can I replace it with a used one?
If so, does it require stripping the engine down?
Is it likely to have done despicable things to my engines insides? i.e. even if I can, should I replace it, or should I go straight to the new engine option?

you are correct that is the cover and oil will not be in there as its a stator

have you checked oil level and have you checked under enough and started the bike to see if you get a oil warning light

[James83]

So I should expect to find something else broke when I get the fairing off? Titties

[Fisty]

Yes it's the generator cover and yes there is oil behind it. Buy a second hand cover off eBay. Fit new cover with a new gasket, change the oil and ride it.

If the above post is correct and there shouldn't be oil in there, you may have ruptured/dislodged a hose somewhere.

Potentially, you should be able to replace the scrapy bits and carry one.

I did wonder why it had a gasket if there was no oil in there.

Is it a reasonably simple bolt off, bolt on thing, or do I need to do some kind of disassembly job on the engine?

ukguy - Yes, there's zip in the window. Didn't try starting it because of the lack of oil.

[ukguy]

seems this motorcycle does use oil in stator

A. I have no clue whatsoever as to what " dis" appertains .

A. Yes; it is indeed the generator cover. The oil came out because the crash smashed a hole in it.

A. You could indeed replace it with a pre-used item.

A. It would require the damaged casing to be replaced along with the gasket.The stator will need to be transferred from inside the damaged casing to the replacement cover.

A. It would only have damaged the engine if allowed to run without sufficient oil for an extended period.A new engine will hardly be required.

There should be oil in there. FACT.

Buy a new Generator cover and gasket, take old one off, scrape old gasket off and rebuild, fill up with new oil and win

Perhaps think of investing in some crash bobbins

Thanks for the help guys. Feeling much better about the prospects of a repair now.

And yes, crash bobbins are now on my "Why didn't you have these already you dolt" list

[misscrabstick]

Oil in this casing is usual, many stators run in oil, Pm'd you James as I have spare engine parts for the F model.
