Hi,
I am looking for advice.
My son crashed into his brother which caused significant damage to his bike.
1. Bent the gear selector shaft
2. Bent and broke off the foot peg bar
3. Broke the foot peg bar mount from the left side crank case leaving a hole in the case
The engine still runs fine and gears are able to be selected but the bent shaft deforms the oil seal so it will need to be replaced.
My main concern is the crank case. Is this something that can be welded or will it need to be replaced? I have the broken piece which fits back into the case easily.
Another option would be to replace the entire engine. Is there a manufacturer that supplies a short or complete replacement motor? The bike otherwise is in great condition, but as it is worth around $2000 I cant afford to spend too much on it. He will outgrow it in a few months anyway so I will need to sell it soon and I want to make sure that whatever repair is made it will last for the next owner.
Alternatively, if there is anyone out there that would like to purchase the bike at a reduced price and take on the repair, please let me know.
Cheers
Harry
