Yamaha xt600e 2003 dj02 crankcase right broken
hi I have a Yamaha xt600e 2003 dj02
and my crankcase the right side is broken, I want to know if I can use crankcase from earlier years like 1990 or 1986, because I don't find newer.

I must be blind - I can't see where it's broken. I DO see casting marks which might look like cracks. Can you put an arrow where it's broken?

in the second picture I draw a black line, there is where is cracked
I am disarming the engine, to see if I can weld it, but I prefer to put a crankcase. if I can use one from a earlier model it would be great, I cant find a 99-03 one. on eBay I just found 84, 88, 90. and some are expensive.

It is non repairable, my 600E cracked in the exact same spot, buy this one (nearest to you).

- does that mean that it's something like a "weak spot" of the engine? pretty concerned about it...

first time i ever seen this type of failure and i run some heavily stressed XT based engines in my supermono and supermoto,
doesnt mean it cant happen, as we see.
im always more interested in the "why?"
one reason i can think of is heavily lugging at low rpm, but not that provable.
when you take the motor appart, check the right main bearing fit in the new cases, if its too loose, that could be another reason.

Well if its going to go, it will go around that area as all the ones ive seen have done so right in that same spot (around the balance shaft) my 600E, a 3AJ Tenere & a TT600 Belgarda.
And there have been a couple of catastrophic failures in the same area due to the balance shaft key sheering & then that just detonates the engine case.
I wouldn't necessary cal lit a "weak spot" if everything is within spec & maintained its a strong engine, but if something goes wrong (bearing, key way etc) that is where the case will fail.
