afternoon Folks,

It appears I left something in the block when I started it up...ran great for hour then engine quit - (yeah I know = 'dumbass')

It's all original as far as I can tell except indicators which are aftermarket
started putting on ebay too
LMK if you have interest and i'll send pictures which I can post too - please bear with me as I work odd hours

thanks
chris h

What do you mean you left something in the block? Did you actually ruin the motor?

I believe so, when it stopped it sounded like a gunshot went off inside the engine before you could feel the thrashing around inside but the top end looks fine so far. Still slowly taking apart...

I am really sorry to hear that has happened. That doesn't sound good at all.

I'm guessing you had the motor apart recently. What were you working on? I'm also guessing you are giving up at this point since you are parting it out.

I've had a few motors go bang over the years. Not a pleasant situation to be in.

At least with the eyewatering prices some of the rare parts command on ebay you should get the value of the bike back going down that route..part it out then buy another B) good luck, I'm already looking what I would like off it.

If you are committed to breaking it up, I'd be interested in both the left and right handlebar switch gear.
