Tig a bike

If it's a deal do it, it can certainly be welded.

Merlin is right it might cost more to weld it. post some pictures of it so we can look at it.

If you buy a new case that means you have to disassemble the motor and while you have it apart you might as well freshen it up, welding up the case is certainly cheaper than a tear down and rebuild. JB Weld is a really cheap fix if it doesn't fix it grind it off and TIG it up.

Yeah 400.00. Aint too bad for a 99 250cc kawi runs perfect. I will post pics when I see it Saturday. Thanks guys. BTW i was hoping he would tig it while in the frame. Not disassembled.

It will be very hard to get a good weld if you don't get all the oil drained out and the crack cleaned out really well.

i have pics, but its my damn luck, its in a spot i have to dissasemble the motor to get to.

I have welded motorcycle engine a few times with stick and with tig. And all came out great with no issues at all. Just make sure the surface is clean before you start welding it and groof it if you can for penetration . I always did the ole preheat the metal before I welded it. But that was me and ya don't have to do that. But, if your not comfortable with a welder especially with aluminum do get a pro welder to do the task for ya. And like everyone else has said if it's cheaper to get a new case compared to getting it welded then by all means get the new case. It really comes down to funds and skills to really get the answer that you want. No pun intended at all

Thanks guys.. We'll see in the next month or so.
