troyzstang Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Simply start by pulling the head and go from there. Post pics and someone will chime in. One example of excess piston clearance from my bike. Good luck Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Might as well just ask the bike, because you'll probably get farther. Give us a little info. Not " I rode it, it broke, what happened?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicklez Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 So your saying that you can stand on the kicker and it wont budge?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ PERFORMANCE Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 best way to fix it is tow it behind a truck say maybe 50 mph pull clutch in and put it in 1st gear and let clutch out.... let us know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97sheeban Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 So first thing I think that water mixed with my oil while riding because as soon as it died on me I checked to see if I had coolant had plenty but then I went to look at my dipstick that's when I realized that water had gotten in it the oil came out white and kinda heavy gum like.....before I started riding I went trough a full check up on it had plenty of water and oil was good so I'm guessing it over heated and I didn't notice it until it died.... I'll have pics tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97sheeban Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 how were u mixing the gas?? and u might have froze something up in the bottom end I was doing a 40:1 mix and it was a fresh mix..... I just finished pulling the motor out so tomorrow ill know if I froze something in the bottom end but like I stated before I was riding and it slowly died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey83 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Ive melted top ends down and they died slow and when cooled down wouldnt kick over at all. I would guess it overheated blew head gskt etc. Probably just the top end but should be easy to find when you tear it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicklez Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Whatever shit was in your oil will have nothing to do with the topend of the motor. You most likley have some type of crank or topend damage. fried rings. Unless some something came loose on the clutch side and jammed up. Start takin shit apart.
