And she just S***T herself...

[Dreamflyer]

the bike i mean.
I know i know. Hyodung. dont need to repeat it. now i understand...
Bigend...Sounds like the big end bearing is rooted. Was just riding along, about maybe 145k on the clock...and all of a sudden, she lost RPM...nursed her home...ticking like mad, and straight to the Dr yesterday morning..
today...i'm told prob the big end...and approx $1000 to fix!!!

PISS ME OFF!
Just spent $500 last week on its MASSIVE 20,000km service!
Not impressed.
Orriginally we thought it might have been the cam tensioner...but turns out...nope.

FUCK!

What courses Big Ends to fail?? I have know idea about them...but keep hearing about them and how important they are...

[Disco Dan]

What courses Big Ends to fail?

After only 20,000 k's... shockingly poor manufacturing. But hey, you knew that when you bought it right?

[Mully]

Evolve it - into a Monster

G'won.... Please....

[YellowDog]

Sorry to hear your bad news.

Riding at too lower revs ain't good for the big ends.

Shame it didn't happen before the big service.

[riffer]

145k on the clock? As in 145 km/hr?

You were redlining it mate. And for how long?

[TOTO]

nah , 145km/h is not the redline on a hyo...when I had mine , it went till 165 and wasnt redlining yet, i was just too fat to get it up to 170

Bugger!

Straight after an extensive service too ........

Lack of oil or low pressure will shit a big end .......... mind you that will stuff most bits of an engine.

How old is it and how many kms on it?

[sil3nt]

Isn't a service meant to prevent this?

+1 Normally it's oil starvation

[Subike]

you had it serviced last week,
and it runs a bearing this week??
sounds very dodgy to me.
especially since it has only done 20k distance!!
Get a seond opinon as to why it run the bearing

[YellowDog]

I doubt that the garage forgot to top it up.

Maybe they forgot to change the sump plug washer and hence you have ran low.

Surely seizing up would have been the net result of being low on oil?

I have a almost brand new motor here for it of you are interested.

And I would also put money on it that it'll cost a damn sight more than $1000 to fix.

A new crank is $800 for one of those plus about 20 hours to do the job at mech charge out which is about $65p/h so there's about $1300...

It's a real bugger and in todays "chuck it away" mentality it's the most economical thing to do with that motor.

And on the bright side, you can recover some of the cost by parting out the good bits of the original motor or keeping it for spares...

I will deff keep that in mind bro. how much? a hyo 250 engine? how many k's?

Na it wasn't redlining...and i was only at that speed for a whole maybe 5 secs...

and as for the lack of oil..they filled it up. how do I know? i checked it when it came back, and today i went in and saw the bike...oil through the filter, and everywhere its ment to be...by the bucket loads. there was deff oil in the unit...so what else could cause a big end to go?

The mec said IF that is what has happened, they will go to Hyosung and ask them to come to the party, which he thought may be parts...as he has never heard of a hyo doing a big end...and with only really low k's...hmm. The bike is a 2007 model btw. Always been serviced and looked after. Always warmed up before i go in the mornings and warmed down (to a point) etc etc.. so i approved for him to take the heads off and check it all out...will know more on tues or wed... and seeing as i go past there almost every day on my run at work, i'll pop in a check things out also. Cant say i've ever had a problem..EVER with big bikes. they are a fantastic company to deal with in my opinion...

To many wheelies.....
