@finnerz89 starter motor is a good shout. That is an odd sound.

Not sure if it suppose to sound like this. What you guys think? I mean the sound when I rev it its strange . New piston , rings , conrod , bearings...

@Calum the previous owner decided to cut it out for some strange reasons. A small bit left of the snorkel on the filter housing. The powervalve resets nice and freely when I turn the key. Should I take the exp. pipe off and inspect it ? Im just cleaned it from carbon and put it back on right order as per haynes manual and set the cable tension...

I know the same thing happened to my brother on hos Aprilia. Was just running too lean.
Same thing happened, albeit slower, on his YZ. Heat seizure. Engine was just overcooling and contracted around the piston.

Yep with rebuild engine wasnt boggin in 6th gear on straight road. I was sliding like 10 meters then clutch. Was looking around bike 5 minutes and bumpstarted it no problem. Didnt felt confident since I didnt know what happened.

Ahh never mate!
What happened?
Head gasket go?
These engines are fairly bomb proof so I'm sure the damage will be minimal.
The fact you were having issues with this build suggests something wasn't right.
If you need any help just throw up a thread in the appropriate section and we'll come to your rescue!

Yeah all the time something silly with the bike but still love it dont know why haha.
Bike mechanic stopped there for help , after 5 min he told me that its in gearbox. Bent fork or something but dont know about the coolant as I am bumpstart it and as far as I didnt stopped the engine sounded sweet , couldnt change gear or release the clutch . Yeah. Made it home 7 miles on 2nd gear with clutch lever. Full coolant overflow tank but cylinder and head is dry and clean.
Not sure which section to choose mate. -
What do you guys think about quick action throttles? Found it on ebay randomly chasing parts.
-
@declan I have aftermarket throttle too but not sure if quick action . Maybe 1/2 turn or 1/3

TurningTuning zone engine probably the best bet.Bent selector forks. That is only going to happen on faulty installation surely. Thst or you have been crazy shifting. I have ran my dt without a clutch for months with no issues.
