Just my F-ING Luck!

[thegroup]

so, today was my 21st b-day :biggrin: got off work earl to enjoy the day. went home got on the banshee and rode for aobut an hr or so waiting for my buddy to show up so we can ride. no more then he pulls into my driveway on his YFZ, my banshee craps out. i fig no big deal, maybe the rings collapsed the rest of the way ( my comp. was low already), so since i dont have a comp tester, i went ahead and pulled the plugs to look into the cyl and the top of the pistons. i thought everything was good til i pulled the carb and reeds and seen this VVVV (ow it gets better)

 

 

so, i said fuck it, lets go ahead pull the motor and put the 88 motor on my frame (he had it and is leting me use it til he is ready to start building up his new project, god damn hes one hell of a friend to have :beer: ) he starts putting my stator anf flywheel on his motor while im doing some looking, i then find this VVVVVV a ring broke loose and trashed my right cyl.

 

 

like the title says, hellof a 21st b-day present :shoothead:

ya, thats what i was thinking, but funds r so damn tight right now

[csrmel]

the piston top looks partly melted. have you been detonating for a while?

[CFM]

Believe me, there is always another step down.....

 

Be happy it was just a top end.

[Shee-Male]

that's usually what happens when you keep riding with already low comp. LOL

[feedmelies]

I think you had it coming to you...

 

You have two nice cars and a good bike, something had to go wrong just to add some balance to the world.

that was just an add-in, 2 wks ago the disturbitor(sp) went out in my car.

 

i wasnt dentonating, the bottom ring lining pin sheard off and the ring turned to the exhaust side and WHAMO!!! i found the piece in my pipe when i tore it down. sometime this wkend im going to tear about the rest of the case and check the crank and everything else out

Hey what a trade off. Thats my moto, trade up when shit falls apart......... :beer:

[thegroup]

well, things r looking a little up. sometime next wk, im getting another banshee. dont know shit about it exp. the tranny is fucked (wont shift pass 2nd) and that it need tires. for $200 who can bitch about that(my buddy mike and i r splitting it, he wants the frame, i get the rest )

It looks like detonation to me. I know what you said, but detonation usually ends up breaking rings and lands first. So how do you tell what happened first? Old gas in your tank could have easily caused this. Depending on your compression, it could take as little as 2 weeks for the fuel to be deteriorated enough for your application. Just sayin...not putting words in your mouth.

 

Been there before.........
