thrillcraft - the environmental consequences of motorized recreation

[Bill]

It's hard to believe I've been away from the KLR group for 5+ years. The A15 needs help. Besides being almost completely disassembled by my business partner while I was in Costa Rica running the business, the case is cracked right next to the oil drain plug. It leaks worse than an old HD on a bad day. I think I can put Humpty Dumpty back together again, but I'm not sure what to do with the case. Is it aluminum or magnesium? If it's aluminum, I thought I might try this Dura-Fix stuff I've seen online. If it's magnesium, I thought I might try the Loctite version of JB weld. Any thoughts? TIA, Bill

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Bill, Not having seen the crack my suggestions are to take the engine to a welder and let them fix it correctly. Also, consider your business partner. A good one would have the bike ready for you to ride upon your return. : ) Best, Jeff Saline ABC # 4412 South Dakota Airmarshal Airheads Beemer Club www.airheads.org The Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota 75 R90/6, 03 KLR650, 79 R100RT . ____________________________________________________________ Top Psychology Degrees Find schools offering psychology programs online. 3 easy steps! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/c?cp=6YxjqA7fqnrh3RNKbgqlgAAAJ1DWfJIDP-R0_NC3mMpGFS0kAAQAAAAFAAAAAG8Sgz4AAAMqAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZmkwAAAAA=

"Thus we come to the deliberate conclusion that the only patriotic thing to do is to just say no to all thrillcraft on all public lands."
