I'm not sure if the DRZ400S model uses magnesium side engine cases like the DRZ400E does. :confused1: These Mag cases are super soft. My shift lever punched into mine ... minor crack ... but leaking vital fluid out. Temporary solution? Chewing gum!! Worked perfectly, was on there for a week!
Finally got round to pulling the cover off and using JB weld on the inside.
Job done. Permanent fix.
So little ever breaks on the DRZ's (unless you crash hard) I'm amazed any repairs ever needs doing. Over loaded luggage racks will crack on any over land bike used off road. No surprise.
I carry two types of wire in my "misc." kit. 10 gauge plastic covered and thin safety wire. Used it only once ... saved the day.
