SpeedRacer88 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Went to start my bike up today after having it sit for a week or 2 gave her a few slow kicks then i kicked hard.... she kicked right back and broke my clutch cover. I installed my spare, warmed her up and off i went. i went about 2 blocks and i felt a slight hesitation so i turned back.. I had her about mid throttle 2nd gear and i heard some loud clanking and she came to a stop. I looked down to see my left crank rod sticking thru my cases.. WTF I Just put this bike together a few months back, i hardly rode it... other than a few street races ( like 5) I went with this builder because i heard he was getting huge gains out of these servals, I also heard he was using junk rods but i chose to ignore after speaking with him. I havent had a chance to speak with him yet i just needed to vent. I'm pretty sure my cylinders are crap... I'm too afraid to tear into it. It had to be the rods right? the bike was running perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayAiken Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Think when you kicked it you bent one of those rods? I saw a pic of someone that bent a wang crank rod from back pressure on a kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Could be many things. However, being that its a serval Im going to assume that its not WAY high on compression and timing which are what promote the "kick backs" that cause the havoc on the clutch cover. With that being said, are you 100% certain you turned the gas off when you put it away the last time before it sat for a few weeks? And are you confident there was no water leaks (even slight drips) that were draining into the cylds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer88 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 gas was off its on alky so i know for a fact .... compression is 165 timing is on +5 don't think any water got into my cylinders. i don't see how it could have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a pic of someone that bent a wang crank rod from back pressure on a kick. mayb i was warned by a bunch of people not to buy my crank from this builder but i did anyway I don't wanna mention his name yet because we haven't talked yet but i hope like hell he can help me out.

camatv Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 shitty chinese crap probably hit you. hopefully someone will listen? i'd say that the "builder" needs to cover the entire repair top to bottom escpecially since you even asked about the weak rod cranks... on the other hand could very well have been a hydrolock.

Nightmare Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think it's hit and miss with these rods with more miss of course. Our 4mil survived last season but the 10 blew on it's 4th race. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer88 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Pretty sure it wasn't a hydrolock my uncle street drags and that was the main thing I was taught to look out 4 I always check for fuel coming out the exhaust and I always check my over flows I seen it happen to my uncles bike so I know what to look for I can even eat dinner this shit is really bothering me I just spent like 2800 on this bike shits got me sick...
