Squeal.... Stop...

[Chanak]

So, down some random back-country road, halfway around a corner, engine starts to squeal...

Slow down, start to pull over, seizes :doh:... clutch, stop, etc...

Phone home for trailier... Get it home, find mechanic, find problem...

Plus side, should be fixed next days off!
Bad side.... stupid bus... which reminds me, I really should get ready now I have to leave home 30min earlier again :blank:

Did someone forget to top up the oil?;)

Nope, fill it every time I go to get gas =P

it's run a bearing somewhere. Should be a straight-forward repair. If you're unlucky you might have to replace a housing.

Is it a secret? I'll ask quietly then. How did it happen?

I note your location, and the name of your bike...

You haven't killed THE frog have you?

I just skimmed over your post quickly, and honestly thought you wrote "if you're unlucky you might have to replace it with a Hyosung!!!" :lol:

Big end of the con rod, should get it all done thursday (stupid jobs, 12hr shifts don't give me much time to do much else)

I'm doing all I can to fix her asap! Thursday is the current ETA.

Do I really have to do the shame head hangy thing, isn't taking the bus and thinking "I should be home by now" as we're pulling out from work enough?:innocent:

Yea, that became #1 on the list of things to check while I was there.

But don't worry, I'll be checking a lot of non-directly-related things too (might as well if it's going to be in bits)

Bugger.

Can't believe this happened to the Frog. Anything I can do to help?

Believe it's (as DB said) the bearing big end of con rod. (no sway freely)

At the moment it's just wait 'til I get time to pull it apart (planning on doing so before my pre-nightshift-nap), see what needs replacing (priced already), order parts, put it all back together.

Shouldn't be any problems, but if there are, you'll probally get a "Where did this go again?" text ;)





Also:
Found out I had access to a motorbike mechanic, so that's helping things along ;)

[Chanak]

Pulled apart
Order replacement parts
Tell them to get the -right- ones this time
Wait for guy to press crank

It goes! :)

ok make sure its got the right SAE spec (not too thick) oil in it, and theres enough of it, or nothing is blocked as has been said.
