XR-400 splitting cases. How tough?

[QUOTE="Rodzilla, post: 149924, member: 16220"] O.K. Guess I'm gonna have to "Just do it" and replace my shift shaft. If you'll remember a few months back I stripped the splines on my shift shaft and subsequently couldn't ride for a bit. So after several failed "in house" quick fixes I had the lever welded to the shaft. Well that lasted one ride and the welds broke (they were pretty small) so I upgraded with a serious weld. This weekend I got exactly 1.5 miles in and the shaft broke. The break was away from the weld where the taper is for the lever bolt. So it may be stress from the heat but who knows. Now the question. I'm faily handy with a wrench (not like Rich or Eric or anything) but I can find my way around. I've rebuilt car engines, replaced clutches etc... but never had to split the cases on a cycle. Is it something a backyard mechanic can do? or will I end up with a "Oh hell, where does this spring/shim/bolt go?" situation. No I don't have a "full" shop manual but my buddy does, and when I see him I'll take a closer look. But until then what do you guys think? While I'm at it I'll probably send the top end to get a 440 and fresh valves. It's only money right?:eek: [/QUOTE]
