Thanks for the reply I talked to a friend about getting it mig welded theres a guy in his shop that is pretty good from what he says and guy at work suggested a boat shop that does prop repairs.Rhino89523 wrote:fairly common, I've done it twice. Either get it welded up or replace the case.
I was just looking to see if there was any shops that have done the repair before. I know its just a welding it up but I don't want a hack job. If anyone has some pics of a shops work and info that would be great to see. I sent some pics to Ken O Coner racing yesterday at there request havent herd back I'll give them a ring tommrrow and go from there.

I went to check if my kickstart is hitting the foot peg and it's not. It's hitting the clutch cover bolt and also the new clutch cover half I just put on. Doesn't look like I'll be going to the dunes this summer this just turned into another winter project to much on my plate to do a rebuild on this right now.
I was told on ATM this was a direct swap with the newer style clutch cover half I read it is a little wider I trimmed my brake lever I guess I'll need to do the same to the kick start. This time I'm going to take my time and not rush it bike been in storage for almost ten years I guess one more year doesn't matter. Thanks for the info and replies

Thanks for the heads up on the kickstart I read my book today I now see where I screwed up the kickstart did come out and I just put it back in I'm guessing the dot on the shaft and ractchet don't line up now.
I should have read my book more I was just in there doing a new clutch cover half due too the water pump area rotted out. I'll pull it apart this weekend just outa curiosity can't tear the engine all the way down until I deal with other things around the house.

Re: 1989 CR500 R/H crankcase cracked
I finally got my bike up and running again the engine has about a hour on it and I'm doing some reading on upgrading my carb. I'm looking at the Keihin pwk 38mm air striker or the 39mm pwk. I will be trail riding and also dune riding at silver lake in michigan it's a small area but better than no dunes to ride. My engine has a port and polish pretty aggressive .080 over running a fmf fatty and turbine core. Most of our riding areas are around 700 ft and I wont't be riding when i'st hotter than hell or freezing balls out. It looks like the pwk 38 a/s comes with #170 main & #55 slow and I believe that is what my bike came with stock I still need to pull it out to confirm.
I"m looking for some opinoins from others that have played the carb swap game any input appreciated I'll see if I can remember how to post pics cause a long over update needs pics
