Probably a stupid question, but still. I noticed that where the exhaust pipe goes into the engine, I have a crack in the engine. And it's leaking gasses. Since I'm about to sell the bike in couple months, I would prefer to spend as little as possible fixing it. Could someone suggest a nice welder in London?

I assume that engine gets waaay too hot to use JB weld?

Written off back in September a cbr125rw7... Already spent around 150£ to put back on road... Bike is worth maybe 800? 900£? So spending a fortune to repair isn't worth it..


Anyone can recommend a welder in London?

banghead I was afraid it'll be engine out... I've never taken the engine out... Lol if I brave myself to do it, I can just as well keep the bike and use it as a guinea pig to learn some more mechanically before messing with my big bike...

Yeah I understand it's a simple engine, but messing with engine, and electronics on modern bikes would be the 2 jobs I'd be ready to pay the garage... To make matters more fun... Bike is parked on the street, so if I start a job I have to finish in a day. I guess I'll just sell it off. How much do you think I can ask? 500? 600? Scuffed bodywork, shocks not In the best condition, and right side panel one side is held on with ducktape?
