Engine died - guess what is wrong?
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2017 6:44 am
HI all.
Went riding last weekend and had a major issue that stopped my day. I had been noticing the power on my bike was lacking lately, seemed almost like the clutch was not releasing as when I would give it full throttle it just didn't get very scary. Anyway in the video you can see when she finally croaks... I was full throttle in 5th gear, power just completely died and the engine stalled. E start just clicks and kick start is stuck. After loading up and taking home I pulled both side cases and the valve cover. Didn't notice anything crazy although I fully admit I am not a great mechanic. I called JT motorsports in Frederick and they currently have it. No diag yet.
Just wondering if you guys can take some guesses as to what it might be?? Any advice moving forward??
Take a look at the video. You can hear the lack of "get it" and about 1:37 there seems to be the lock up.
