knight_ripper Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 Well shit. Why is that on the same day I order TCS's I find this? I was bottoming out on my frame...due to new +2 arms. anyway....one ride is all it took. Guess I hit just the right rock. Now the question is what to do? the water pump cover is cracked and broken at the bottom....the bolt has backed its way out...by the looks of it ... even before i hit the rock. I only say that cuz the bolt is bent and...how else would it happen. anyway...nothin is leakin. and nothin seems out of wack. Other than the broken cover and cracked case. Its more like a chunk missing right off the edge of it. Whatcha think? check out the pics! JB weld and a new pump cover? TIG weld? New Case? So much for riding on Sat. Dam Sheet Dam Quote
knight_ripper Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 the rock had to be pretty big to fit up past my frame ....in between my nerfs.... and hit the case. Quote
NYUK Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 thats just your clutch cover.not the cases. just get a new clutch cover.if i remember correctly, they are less than 100 beans from yamaha.i don t even think that hole is near water.jb weld will work there. Quote
knight_ripper Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 Thats not my case eh? good to hear. I cant remember whats under the covers. been awhile since ive taken um apart. time to get a clutch cover i guess. Can I ride this weekend or should I hold out? I cant remember whats in there ... so I dont know wether I can ride it or not. I need to see some microfiche's. anyone know? Quote
NYUK Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 YOU CAN RIDE LIKE THAT.a lil jb weld will cover it. the water pump is recessed back a lil farther than where that hole is. Quote
knight_ripper Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 I was trippin on the hole...whats under the clutch cover. just space in that corner? nothing to get hurt with water or mud under there is there? Im actually just taking a long road trip this coming up sat. bout a 60-70 miler. no rocks...lol. Awesome NYUK. THanks for the info. Quote
knight_ripper Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 what im wondering...having just seen the microfiche....is why isnt there oil coming out of there. I know my clutch is a wet sump...so why is it not leaking. damn...i gotta take it apart and check it out. o - well. Quote
Bansheeduner02 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 just take it to the nearest welding shop and have them patch it up or u can just buy another one Quote
knight_ripper Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Posted February 10, 2006 Damn I poped off the water cover to see the crack...or chunk missing. No big deal really. I couldnt of hit it in a better location. I JB welded it last night. wont see it till today. I hope I can sand that jb...so it will be a little pretty'r. I will post pics when Im done. Quote
Shee-Male Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 There is nothing but air space in there, thats where the oil pump sits in the RZ's which was removed when adopted by the banshee. Here's a pic of a clutch cover with all that stuff removed. Quote
