Different types of crunches and knocks can represent different things going wrong.

Am happy to have a quick look at the bike but I'm all the way over on the shore.

Its not the wrong piston they take wiseco which I ordered in for rupe through my account with the importers its the right one. From memory there are not many sizes availiable. If it was wrong it would have had problems a long time ago.

Thats why I think it is more like the kickstart, but without seeing and hearing the bike would never now. If he brings itover to you let us know what it is.... Curious to know now.

Sounds like teh kickstart to me too. Sounds like the spring has broken and the kickstarted is not returning properly.

I don't think that it would have shit the bottom end or piston. I rode that bike at the end of last year and it was going fine. You should get at least another 80 hours out of that piston.
