    There is also a lean seize if the bike hadn't been jetted right........ detonation,the bain of 2 strokes can get things hot enough to start nipping up...there are lots of wives tales,perhaps one of the better ones is adding extra oil to prevent seizing when infact it replaces the fuel leaning the mixture risking seizing plus the oil itself can induce detonation .

    Cool

    Thank you all for answering my questions...

    I really do appreciate it...

    Now I know the difference between 2 strokes and 4 strokes engines.
    and what can happen and how to get out of the situation should it ever happen...

    Again thanks.

    In general, providing you're upright when it locks, and have enough straight road , a locked and sliding rear wheel is not too disastrous. A locked chain or gearbox may lock the wheel, and pulling in the clutch WON'T help with that one.
    yes indeedy.
    i was lucky. going in a straight line on sh1. just in the fast lane unfortuantly.

    now I ride with at least one finger usually two on the clutch and I run a colder than standard spark plug.

    fun fun fun
    I only posted this because of the global economic crisis
