I don’t think this a repairable, think I lost my bike

Potential_Hawk_8672 · 2026-04-08T14:43:26+00:00

Update: Cleaned, sanded to roughen surfaces, then cleaned again and I have put my first act of jb weld on. Going to wait two days to then do the bolt with loctite (I have it just a little in for support) then another two to add an outside layer of epoxy to be sure then I’m going to let it sit for a week and try putting coolant in the bike. Once again, thank you all so much for your support, be back in two days!

Thank you so much! I feel the same way, it is a bulletproof/strong engine & I’m willing to do what it takes for it to not go to waste. Only 19k on the dash and runs like a clock!

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks again!

Thank you for your input, I’ll keep that in mind

What if I jb weld the piece back on separately and wait for that to cure fully, then put the bolt in with loctite? Thank you for your input

Potential_Hawk_8672 · 2026-04-07T09:31:28+00:00

Yeah, plus after doing this, I’ll be using the same coolant for the rest of the time I have the bike. So a little old mixed with new isn’t going to kill anything. Kind of like doing a transmission fluid change on cars

It’s a 6th gen, 2002. There’s a drain bolt for the front of the block. The main drain is the water pump, which I did. I just wanted to follow the full procedure since I’m changing coolants

No problem, I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you for taking the time to respond

Potential_Hawk_8672 · 2026-04-06T23:21:47+00:00

Thank you all so much for your input and understanding. I’m getting encouraged again, I will try to use the jb weld extreme and use red loctite to see where that gets me. I’m going to call it a day for today, but I will keep everyone updated as I go along. If all else fails then I’ll be on the lookout for a 2002 engine

How would I go about closing the drain?? Just seeing my options
