Wetzel Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I was out riding today, and has a growling sound comming from somewhere on my bike. I pulled over to check it out and then the bike would not start again. I tried to jump it. The motor would make about a half of turn and stop. I Drained the oil and found large chuncks of metal. It looks like Brass to me. So I pulled the oil and the picture above is what I found :icon_wall: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbrxxquad Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi, let me introduce my self,,,Stan Nice to met you but not under these circumstance. Brass is bad. Already past the babbit. Rod and crank at the least. Next to the last one by the chain for the cam. Wiggle the rod. #3 is the one. But being that it is locked up could be more. Valves too. Do a lot of wheelies? Let me know if I can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if I can help. Nice to meet you Stan. My name is Mike. I do not do wheelies. The guy who had it before me liked to ride wheelies. I knew the bike was neglected when I bought it. I will check the rod today and see what I can find. Heres the only thing I could find http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-HONDA-...sQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Engine-moto...sQ5fAccessories I did know of one from a 99 in the Chicago area for $500 but I dont know if that will for in a carbed bike.

Byrdman Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thank you That just sucks. If you do replace the motor, I may be interested in what's left over. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Just for comparison crank 300 rod 100 bearings 120 gaskets 100 Labor 500 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Eddy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Just for comparison crank 300 rod 100 bearings 120 gaskets 100 Labor 500 min. Well, considering used motors of suspect history are 700+, Stan is sounding like a better way to go. Spend a few hundred more with him and have a fresh motor vs a used ?. And yes Mike this is THE MAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be the bearings, and if there is no movement at all. Then they are spun and stacked. Should move a little. Going to have to pull some covers and see what you can. Can't think of any other brass. But being it won't turn over. Sounds real bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon haney Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 anyone know if i need the speciality tools to remove the motor? I didn't use anything special. Well, my friend Joe has been called "special" before, but that's another story. Putting the motor back in will require a special socket (can't remember the proper term) for the two rear engine mounts, but you can make that out of an old hex socket using a dremel, die grinder, and/or hack saw.
