The part on my transmission case which holds my rear brake calliper has snapped, making the calliper pretty loose. Is there anyway to fill or repair the scratch? This is a picture of the crack- if i undo the caliper bolts, the crack will get small when i push the two pieces of metal together...
as a wise gingerbread man once said, youre up chocolate creek without a popsicle stick, it may be possible to get it welded but its not advised, the best course of action would be a new left hand crankcase. i'm sure there is somthing that can be done though.
Will i have to buy a complete new transmission case aswell? Or can i just buy the part that i've snapped?
thats a split not a crack m8.. and as said befor have it welded by a PROFESSIONAL tig welder.. have them make a plate to go over the top and seam weld this in place too.. looking around 60 quid for the repair with the plate
Can the runner 50 engines be converted? Never looked on mines If i were you i'd be looking for crankcases (good excuse to do your mains)
Can they repair bolt holes aswell? The hole that the bolt goes into has now cracked, leaving just the bottom half of the hole
Nope, my mum revved it whilst i was adjusting idle, and the calliper got caught, forced the bolt to snap the hole
speak to a welder about it. it can be done, its wether somone neer you can do it. deffo plate the front tho as weld is never as strong as metal.. especially ali
That happened to my SR50, and the part was over £400 plus about £200 in labour but luckily got it done under warranty.
bloody hell, skanky buggers, think new crankcase half is only about £140 from scooter-center. and £200 to do an engine build. jeesus.
Have you seen the price of Aprilia parts, they are stupid, they want £160 for a crankshaft plus postage from Italy, £60 for standard exhaust down pipe plus postage and it works out cheaper to get a "performance" exhaust.
erm yup its around 180+ mark for a front headlight for the sr125 genuine and i got a bran new genuine never used for just £10.00
