hey guys the rgv i've owned for less than too weeks has completely shat itself

it was supposedly well maintained with a recent rebuild, but the engine has still gone pop

have a look in the engine tech forum for pictures of some damage

kinda gutting, risk of buying a 2 stroke i guess

Take it to a mechanic, if it wasn't recently rebuilt you can take a 'civil action' at the 'district court' for misrepresentation. Sounds messy, and expensive, and it is... but you'll soon find out what an RGV with barrels that have shat themselves are worth.

Sorry to read that.

I suppose you'll get all the advice in the world now about how to buy a bike. Too late for this time, of course, but suck it up and use it next time.

actually i did take all the advice, i got it checked out, fresh warrent blah blah

just kinda unlucky i guess

i think it was rebuilt and its actually the bottom end thats let go (i think), the rings look healthy and the piston wasn't hugely carboned up

With a 'laser beam'

Apologies for the bad Austin Powers joke, I know it's about 4 years too late......

Lol well you've got to admit, it's kind of doofus to put the words civil action and district court in quote marks, like you're being sarcastic or something, hehe.

Don't sweat it, my NSR had a shat crank too (only paid 1250 for it anyway) how much did you pay for it?
