Susuki GS650 Mysterious Hole in side case

[gsbandit]

Hello all suzuki brothers I am baffled by hole in the ignition side of my 2000 GS650 Bandit, I know that this forum is for the older GS suzuki's i have an older gs750 as well. i am posting a few pics of this anamaly.
You can see into the crank and it was pumping oil right in to the transisterized ignition. and of course i have no spark but obviously it is the least of my worries. I bought the bike cheap as is. but i cant figure out how the hole produced. i know im probably going to have to drop the motor and split the case. my question is could that hole have been created if the the bike hit hard on the oposite causing the #4 cylinder crank and or arm to shear of the side of case. maybe someone rebuilt the motor and forgot the thrust bearing on that side ???? The bike only hase 20k miles on it. any help with this would be greatly appreciated or even a point in the right direction thank you

I can't tell what the hole is or what caused it, but if you are interested I have a 97 Bandit 600 motor with 820 miles on it. Pm me if you are interested. it will definitely cheaper than tearing one down and going through it. Plus it is almost new with the mileage. just broke in.That is if you are in the states.

Can't figure out what the photo is showing.

I wouldn't assume oil on the ignition triggers is a problem until you do more research. Some bikes are designed that way.

Also, poor spark is rarely the ignition pickups fault. More common is ignitor failure.

it is very hard to tell from that picture, it almost looks like it should be there. maybe a clearer pic of a slightly larger area may help us.

Looks like a carton of some silver stuff.

Don't be baffled, maybe it was a casting flaw or maybe some part came loose and wedged between crank and case. Me, I'd definitely consider hjfisk's offer unless you are really ambitious !
