well guys, i've had her 3 days....... and today i was ridding at a friends little practice track. and my tire threw a rock or something of that nature and poped a little hole right in my stator cover :( :( :( i felt like crying. i hope my welding teacher has the materials to weld up magesium or i guess i'll have to order a new one!!

and about 20 minutes before mine, my buddies KX450F started draining out all his tans fluid so we dont know whats out there thats just a bike eater!

can you even weld magnesium?

[wckedclownz69]

the devil is telling you stay the hell off his property... just a guess

[KXRida]

Is it just the cover or the case? If it's the cover you could probably pick one up pretty cheap on ebay or buy an aftermarket one.

[SRH]

u could always patch the hole with quicksteel, let it cure, and go over the top with jb weld, it will work but its not a permanent fix, hold u over til one comes in.

[One_Bad_400]

its the cover. the only one on ebay is 72 bucks and i'm not going to afro rig up my bike. not sure what i'm going to do. i'm going to call my welding instructor in the morning to see if he can weld it. if not i guess i'll have to buy that one off ebay

[One_Bad_400]

i found this on thumper talk

"Weld it with AC TIG, large gas cup, (magnesium rods) and extra flow of argon. Turn the post flow up to about 12 seconds and keep the gas flowing on the welded area after you terminate the arc. As you would with aluminum cleanliness is essential for good results. If you do any filing or grinding make sure to dispose of the dust like down the drain or toilet as it's very unstable. Scrape the anodize of the weld area and even if it doesn't look like it's anodized scrape anyway as it might be clear. I know this sounds overkill, but it's what you should do. DON'T try aluminum rods no matter what and not even the 50 series which are magnesium based."

yup you can weld magnesium but i dont beleive they make a wire for mig so it would have to be tig welded. and unfortunately the rods are very expensive.
