What is it? looks like a push-rod CG engine. |
My bike is a Honda CB500S. 1998
That picture i used just to identify the part. I have just shone a torch onto the area outside and there is a split right across the underneath of it. So if you look at the bike side on, the crack is going away from you towards the engine. As oppose to left to right
So where the bike has hit the deck on its left hand side and skidded for 3-4 yards, its cracked the casing. It looks like i can simply unbolt that one and replace with a second hand one, but if i can get away with a temp fix, ill do that.
Never had any oil leaks before, whatsoever, so i dont know if when the bike has been on its left hand side oil has made its way into that area from somewhere else, thus leaking. |

I wouldn't fret about it blowing out, there's not an amazing amount of pressure in the system... not intending to go drag racing are you? ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

TIG welding the crack is probably the gold standard repair for that kind of damage. Not all welders are comfortable with and/or set up for TIG welding aluminium though.
If there is a hairline crack, it's good practice to drill a "stop hole" at the very tip of the crack to prevent it propagating further. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
