opions please

this is an 07 te610 that i just bought, i discovered this while going over things, i'm a little concerned, please give me some input, thanks

Oopsie, looks like the chain picked something up or came off at some point. Was there a front chain guide under the cover to keep it off the case?

Looks like JB weld.

Well obviously, haha.

My input,----- this is gonna cost ya !

I would leave it if it is not a stressed part and is not leaking. I would put another chain guard on however.

I would bring it back to the guy that sold it to you and get your money back! Every time you pull the clutch it's going to put pressure on that area. The cost to replace the case is $1500-$1800

Or get a Reklus clutch $620+- and install LHRB.

Could probably be welded up and gusseted for more strength, should the need arise.

Call George and point him to the picture. He's undoubtedly seen this. 1 714 540-2920 ....and will explain if fix is good or replace.

Just have it fixed.
Done several like that $200-$300
Really not a big deal just have to get it clean make a slug, weld it up, hone bore for clearence. bee good to go.
Later George

haha....mental telepathy.....

thanks for the replies guys, feeling a little better about it. the guy i bought it from still should have mentioned this. when you say have it repaired, can this be done without disassembling everything, where do you have something like this repaired?

Where are you in the US?

Many guys ship stuff to George in ice chests, well sealed with silver tape....engines even.

Don't know if the total repair can be done in the frame...you'd have to check....phone.
