the top of my case half cracked and broke off can it be welded or should it be replaced? is this common broke on clutch side? and why if so

 

Yes ,this is very common.Look at my pic's i bet it looks just like the one you have.Call Ritter Cycle,you can get brand new case halves with bearings and seals for around $300.HPD sells a reinforcement plate that takes care of this problem.Rick can probably weld this piece on for you as well.You really can't weld it that good because you can't get inside and get the penetration that you need,not to mention the top of the case halves need to be pretty true.Good luck.

 

I don;t know if it can be welded or not. as for why it cracked it has happend to some that are pushing high horsepower and no case saver. Once you get about mid 60's or higher on Horsepower the bottom end starts to become unreliable without some reinforcement.

What mods do you have? If the motor is mostly stock I don;t know why this happened.

 

I have a friend that had this same thing happen to a bone stock bike.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

the same thing happened to my brothers bone stock engine.the counter balence bearing locked up,thats what caused it..

 

ced what you come take a picture of mine?? looks identical do you know what just the cases might cost just put all new bearings in it have only about 2hrs on them would be nice to reuse them? it does have fullrace mod conig does any body have picture of a case saver because have aluminum welder would weld my own up if not to hard thanks for the help guys

 

Yeah,the piece from my buddys case fit right in mine.Call Rick he will tell you what just the cases will go for.Look at Polarisfreaks gallery he has a pic of the case saver.I would highly suggest getting it tig welded,if you can.

 

check polarisfreaks picture page I beleive he has a case saver pic. I don;t have one (maybe I better get one) or I would get you a picture.

 

I will ship you new cases and remove the bearings from them and deduct it from the price so you can use your practically new ones . I have the case savers and can install it for you here .

I had my crankcase and cylinder break with the trail mod. It is a very good idea to have the cylinder girdled and the crankcase saver from HPD put on if you are running a high horsepower engine.
