I AM AN IDIOT

[polarisrider4]

just thought i would share my retarded story with you and it does involve the powerstroke sort of. today i jumped in the truck in a hurry and forgot i was parked right next to my zx9r. well i backed out and cut the wheel right into the bike, knocked it over, and broke off the foot peg where it mounts to the frame and cranked the engine case cover, all 4 quarts of oil leaked out. i was very upset. sorry just needed to vent

that could happen to anyone, we are allowed to have a brain fart from time to time...............

an expensive brain fart

gonna liquid metal the case cover crack, and ordered a peg bracket for 62 bucks so it worked out alright but still 62 bucks is 62 bucks

thats almost a tank of fuel

You can try the jb weld on the engine case. But if it was me, I would see how much a shop with a tig welder would charge to fill the crack.

I have had jb weld start leaking oil after a while. I had a cracked engine case on a atv engine. After awhile it started leaking again. Ended up grinding off the jb weld and having it tig welded.

i did something similar a few months ago. my wife's infiniti was parked on the other side of me and i didn't see it. ran the nerf bar right over her front fender. $2400 worth of damage
