I fixed one on a 92 kx500 that cracked around the shroud mounts by drilling holes in the end of the crack and using fiberglass resign to patch it.  I tried the other plastic weld stuff and epoxies but this is what worked for me.  I know you got a new one but just in case it comes up again.  Polyethylene is hard to get anything to bond to.
