not superdream related but may be uesful,had a engine dropped of this morning need it for satday well good luck.leaking oil hole in clutch cover a big dollop of i do not know covering the hole can you weld it up.never welded magnesium but know someone who can .how did the hole get there answer i don't know whats the other problem answer no drive i think the clutch as gone ,noticed new clutch cover gasket what have you had the cover off for don't know .Don't forget this is a 19 year old i an talking to.well the first thing i do is take oil the oil filters these ktm engines have one for the engine and one for the gearbox .if they are full of destruction i would have phoned him to get the engine but both were clean but the engine oil filter full of silicone terrible stuff .so took the clutch cover off found the drive problem the 6 cap studs had sheared on the drive gear .ktm are extremely over engineered no way were these studs ktm .gave him a ring and he told me a mate had done some work on it that answered all my questions told him he will not be riding his bike this weekend.well 6 broken studs came out very easy as they were not high tensile were very easy to drill so to things to watch silicone use proper gasket cement and fasteners they are high tensile for a reason
