I live in Portugal, Europe, so its going to be hard to send the cap. but today went to local moto parts shop, and they said I might be able to get this directly from Suzuki. so tomorrow I'm going to pass by to check it out. thanks anyway

I was able to get them from Suzuki this past summer so Suzuki still has them, at least here in US they do.

Where in Portugal are you from?

Definitely going to Suzuki tomorrow.

From Porto, up in the north. By your name I have to conclude you're also Portuguese  :icon_lol:

Lol, yes I'm from Braga, but have been living in the states for some time now.

Depends... how good are you with a torch?.. those things are diecast. and you can actually just solder the cracks. yup. good ol' silver solder will work! take off the black paint. stick the part on top of some sand. and start heating the area until you can get some solder to start flowing into the crack. little more heat, then take the heat off and wait for it to cool to where the solder hardens. then shove the part down into the sand..

Worse case, its still broken/needs to be replaced.
best case, its fixed quickly and use-able and you can go ride.
