Well .... It went pop pop bang bang then seized on the motorway

Calum

I am sorry but that's a little bit funny!

Danny you knew they were unreliable. How many times did Nathan blow his UP?

It's bad luck but they are notorious for failures. At least a rebuild is cheap, oh wait it's four stroke so will cost you.

Nah in all fairness mate, they are really simple to rebuild. It will cost you as much or as little as you want. Depends on how you want to proceed. Doyou go all out and reinforce the engine to make it bullet proof.

Or do you want to get it running again on the cheap?

Either way it's going to need some thinking.

If you want a bike for motorways then a drz ain't it. 400's aren't that much fast than a tuned 125. For motorways you will want a 600 or something geared up.

Hope you sort it buddy.

For anyone wondering I've known Danny a long time I am not literally laughing, but he never has much luck with bikes it seems. But seriously Danny how many times did Nathan break his?

Dt Danny

yeh true i was expecting it to blow up soon i was giving it death everywhere i went and i was litterly on the motorway for like 1 miles sat at 70 cruising

Dt Danny

it locked up on the motorway on saturday night ( litterly was on it for 1 mile and wasn't hammering it). Everything was running fine before hand she just lost power then a horrible grinding noise from the cylinder. And a horrible smell and white smoke from the exhaust and no coolant in the top of the radiators.
Can turn the engine over by hand but locks up at a certain point spark plug is undamaged and the cam chain is still on.

Dt Danny

Update piston cracked at the wrist pin it flew up smashing all the valves and then the con rod punched a hole in the barrel hydrolocking the bottom end the garage want 1300 to repair it

Calum

You could have done that yourself to find out.

Again build the engine yourself mate it won't cost you half that!

Mightyman
