This weekend I was changing the belt this weekend and noticed a hole in the bulk head right under the jack shaft. At some point I must have gotten either a big chunk of ice or more likely a rock between the track and the bulk head and broken a piece out (looks like the exit hole in an aluminum can after being shot) the hole is about the size of an orange. Looking at the Yamaha micro fiche I cant find a part number for just the bulk head. It looks like you have to order the whole assembly for about $1,000. Does any body have experiance with this/advice?
Thanks

Do you have a pic of it. You may be able to weld it But if you do pull your ECU out.

I plan on keeping the sled for some time so I was going to have the insurance pay for the repair. I was wondering if the whole unit had to be replaced or just the bulk head. I can't find a part number for just the bulk head. The entire assembly through South Seattle Sports Plaza is $980, that looks like the cooler, two front pieces, rivets, bearings the whole 9 yards. I thought if I could just get the bulkhead and have it done at Yamaha for under $350 I would just pay for it and not file a claim (my deductible is $250) and keep my rates down....

Not 100% sure but if you check the parts for the 2009 -2010 apex I think you can order that plate for 55.00. Check it out.

Yes indeed the bulk head does not go that far back. That would be a different part and would be way cheeper I would think.

Weld it. Serious.
It isn't worth it to take the whole thing apart to fix something stupid like that. Remove the brain box (so it doesn't get cooked by electric weld, though I doubt it would it doesn't hurt to be careful) and the secondary clutch, it *looks* like nothing else will need to come off, *maybe* the exhaust cover. Hammer it back into shape, get a reasonably competent aluminum welder to tig or mig it, it'll be fine and won't even look bad once its done. Should cost you around $20.
