UPDATE: So the damage.... Cam chain tensioner went.... need: new Cam chain tensioners for both cylinders and gaskets, 2 inlet valves and 2 exhaust valves and a new head gasket.... all up about 540 for parts and 450 for labour.... yay.....

So I have removed the sparkplug from the rear cylinder to find this.... now how dirty are these? Would it affect the bike being this dirty? Sorry about the size of the pics btw

There’s 2 options... new motor for $500 or if my flatmates right, it could just be 1 cylinder not firing, he had the same noise when it was only firing on 2/3 out of four cylinders on his 97 bandit 250

Am I the only one confused as to what is going on?
There is no way you are going to fix the problems you have outlined in post 1 through the spark plug hole.

Do you KNOW what is wrong with the motor, or is that what you are trying to establish?

Haha na I was trying to establish it previously but as of yesterday my rear cylinder has been taken apart and now I know for sure what is wrong :P probably should have stated that.

Ok, so the update in your first post is correct then?
Just the date listed for the update is the 27th of July, hence the time line of the posts threw me.
So is the distributor coming to the party with cost?
Who is doing the work?

Oh yea I wonder why that is... anyway I'm waiting for a response from hyosung NZ as to wether or not they will help, I had the motorcycle doctor check it out for me, and thats where I got the prices for the parts from, I havnt looked around myself for cheaper prices yet

Fooken good on you. Stick to your guns, but don't be obstreperous.
If they don't, ensure you keep receipts and take them to small claims.
It only costs $20.00 and a little of your time.

Yea I've also kept the receipts from the time when the pistons in all 3 of my brake calipers rusted and seized at 14000 kms... and when my clutch cable snapped on xmas morning at 15000kms... haha WOO!

And my partners mums family friend works at Russell McVeagh (nice big lawfirm) so he can draft me up a letter on Russell McVeagh Letter head which I'm hoping will help

Bump again.

Getting fixed tomorrow,

will I need to run the parts in or will I be sweet to go onto the motorway and rev it

Good one bud. She'll be right as rain shortly. I'm sure everyone will be interested to hear what the mechanic had to say.
