Today I fell, to the left side of the bike and the shift lever bent
in and punched a hole in the engine case. I'm having the bike taken
to the dealer for repair. Anybody had this experience, and, if so,
should I expect any problems that might be associated with the
repair? (Other than my embarassment in dropping the bike.) Is there
an aftermarket shift lever that will minimize the chances of this
happening again, since there don't appear to be any aftermarket
changes that are going to improve my balance except more practice?
Thanks, Jim Hall

I did this in my driveway once, doing exactly 0 kmh so the tip didn't fold. I removed the case and sealed the crack with Araldite. The hardest part of the job was locating the starter idler gear thrust washer that fell in behind the magneto rotor.

Dual-Star's new shift lever has a tab welded on that is supposed to
prevent this from happening. None of the other aftermarket shift
levers seem to address the problem. I carry some JB Weld in case
something like this happens in the boonies.

Ya, but isn't JB Weld a 24hr-cure epoxy? JB Quick is fast, but stinks in comparison to the original JB Weld. I carry QuickSteel epoxy putty and use the JB Weld at home.

The DynoJet kit definitely cured the surging I was getting at 4000
rpm on my A11. I found it pretty easy to install, just take things
slowly and think it through--mistakes can be costly.
OTOH, if you don't have a specific problem to cure I wouldn't mess
with the carb except to back out the pilot needle.

This is true and did you know there is now a QuikAluminum?
