RadarRacing Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Just like he said, broken skirt. Maybe from cast pistons either stockers or , namura,vitos. Double check crank and rod bearings and bore clearance/ shape for wear. Quote
Jereme6655 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 too much timing, too little octane, too little compression, too much power for cast parts, run too lean, not enough oil...... there are probably a hundred different combos of shit that could have gone wrong. we need ALOT more info (and pictures of carnage are always fun to look at) about your bike and what your running in it and how much before we can even being to take rough guesses as to what went wrong with your bike...

mike0chek Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Posted September 21, 2011 my bike is ported, stock bore and stroke, toomy t4's, k&n with holes in lid, vforce reeds, coolhead, plus 5 timing, stock carbs Quote

TIM LUTZ Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Can you post some pictures? Most of the time when you lean it out real bad the top ring will pinch on the exhaust side and cause the piston to rock so much it will usually bust the skirt. Quote
camatv Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 umm your shiot broke.. bore it fit new pistons check the crank put it back together and tune it in ride it Quote
