How did that happend

Exmx54 · April 10, 2006, 11:25:08 PM

It's still good man, I'd run it! Just bend the rod back with a mallet, smooth out the cylinder with some steel wool, then JB weld back the broken peice of the piston! Just kidding, well it's sometimes good when this happens, it's going to be way faster once its back together!

DCR_Marcus14 · April 10, 2006, 11:26:01 PM

well when i took it apart it was full of sand, i should have taken a picture before i washed it, but i dont understand how all the sand got in there, cause my air boot was fine and the bike was running great that day and i was even thinking how good it was running and how well it sounded a few corners before it locked up.

YFZ450-Tampa · April 10, 2006, 11:29:16 PM

Sand ? hum, was it over heated or ran out of oil ?

DCR_Marcus14 · April 10, 2006, 11:40:09 PM

it was overheating a little

I have an 04 and my motor still runs flawless.

raptor426 · April 11, 2006, 09:32:40 PM

Thats not good

YFZ450-Tampa · April 11, 2006, 09:32:50 PM

Mine is 04 and like Rob's, mine runs great, well just fixed the trainy, but I have 2 hare scrambles seasons, plus all the riding you can image, I change the oil every 4 to 5 rides, keep the air filter clean

53yfz450 · April 11, 2006, 09:41:27 PM

welll mine must be a dud. i change the oil every 2 rides. i have replaced everthing in that engine. i seized it twice, blew a hole in the head and cylinder and many other things. its been good lately **knock on wood** but maybee becuase i have replaced everthing in the engine

WOODY_450r · April 11, 2006, 09:44:10 PM

It only runs good now because you put honda red plastics on it

and that sucks about your motor man...like Exmx54 said , once you fix it, it will be twice as fast

53yfz450 · April 11, 2006, 09:45:23 PM

really mine got slower.

no lie $:-\$

WOODY_450r · April 11, 2006, 09:46:38 PM

what

53yfz450 · April 11, 2006, 09:47:36 PM

im not kidding ask the eric

WOODY_450r · April 11, 2006, 09:49:35 PM

why did it get slower .....not because of the red plastics?

becasue the rebuild of the engine??

53yfz450 · April 11, 2006, 09:51:07 PM

i dont know. $:-\$ im going to get a hinson clutch soon.

WOODY_450r · April 11, 2006, 09:55:41 PM

ur bike is pretty slow...i beat in alan front feild and i didnt even get out of third

Hondarider22 · April 11, 2006, 10:06:21 PM

the red plastics actaully added speed, you should have seen it before the new fins :tsktsk.gif

DCR_Marcus14 · April 12, 2006, 08:41:00 PM

hinson clutch wont do anything, stock components work no different and are way cheaper. But my motor has ran great, i never had a valve adjustment and put a piston in like 6 months ago, but it was time for it to blow up comming up to its 3rd year on racing.
