indiana banshee Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 I just started the bike and drove away from the truck and it came to a screeching halt. Pulled it out and it looks like the left piston exploded from the rings down. I had piston in the exhaust through the bottom end as well. Got the crank,jugs and head leaving to have Jeff work his magic, looks like a bomb was let off inside the piston lucky it didn't ruin the bike. Quote
indiana banshee Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 Ya i'll try and post it, it sitting on my desk at work in a baggie. Quote
indiana banshee Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Posted February 7, 2012 It was a stock motor never opened original everything. Looks like a ring stuck about mid way and from the ring down just blew apart. It will be at Jeff's tomorrow and is getting a complete overhaul. Quote
jayzx10r Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Figured it had to be a stocker (or Pro-x) cast. Otherwise, it would look like my avitar pic. Forged don't crack apart, they wad up . Edited February 7, 2012 by jayzx750 Quote
shanYE west Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 If it was all original.. My guess would be a sloppy bore from excessive wear. I have seen a few broken skirts on forged pistons. Quote
