[QUOTE="roblav96, post: 1351543, member: 107283"] I recently bought a 2005 Suzuki RMZ250 from a private seller off craigslist sunday. On tuesday, I get on my bike kick it twice. The second kick, I heard a loud crack/pop so I figured the engine back fired or something. Third kick the bike starts and I go riding for around 5min till I get to my friends house. As I turn off my engine, I notice oil leaking all over his drive way. I look down and see a crack from the kick start baring all the way to the other side. The pictures show it all. (idk how to insert pictures) So after saving up for months to get this bike, it's worthless in two days. :( Could someone give me some advise as to what I should do about this? My first intention is to just weld the crack because the engine ran fine and started fine even with the crack. The crack isn't near any key components to the engine so I'm not sure why I shouldn't. My other alternative is to buy a whole new engine and swap it out or buy the engine cover piece and the two crankcases and replace it from there. What's the best thing to do in this situation?
