general_lee_banshee Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Check you compression , might of seized Quote
Juss11 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Check you compression , might of seized Yep Quote
banshees_are_great__ Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Posted March 3, 2013 Check you compression , might of seized dont think thats it cause he was able to start it again and ride it home by push starting it... and he can kick start it now but its a little tougher. Quote
general_lee_banshee Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Haha coulda un seized when you forced it. Check your compressi Quote
general_lee_banshee Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Compression sory . If not crank bearings Quote
general_lee_banshee Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 ^^^sorry . Thanks for the correction. Quote
Jereme6655 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 id start first by popping off the clutch cover and looking at the kicker gears and idler gears. They go south and you wind up with a frozen kicker and bump starts can shatter the rest of the gears........just pop off the clutch cover first though. Quote
lms1977 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Yea if something changed something is going or went bad start ripping it apart and see whats wrong Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Yeah, looking under the clutch cover is a good start. But you said there is now a chatter after a short term seize. I've had my bike seize up and once it cooled down it would kick again so I thought it was the pistons. So I get it home and kick it on the compression gauge and it was fine. I put my little makita scope and video screen down the plug holes and it looked great. So I get on it and kicker over and go for a diagnosis cruise. Of course nothing showed its face till I get out of my sub and on the dirt road once I gave it some throttle. Seized up again. I pushed it home and ripped it apart and the bushing out side rod end took a dive. Quote
sandbum80 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 First problem is that after the motor seized he pushed started it!!!! Something was wrong could of caused more damage then anything!!! Quote
