Motorbike Issues

Contents

Today, I had a possibly serious engine meltdown. My first real engine issue since purchasing the bike 1.5 years ago. And it was probably due to slightly not enough oil. We’ll see. As I started off for work this morning, the bike was not running very smooth at low speeds. As I approached the traffic light, the engine began making a loud sound that was similar to gears going the opposite direction! I quickly turned off the engine and came to a stop. I then tried to move the crank shaft by pressing down the kick-start. It wouldn’t move!!! Argh! So, it is a possible engine sezure. One of the pistons could be welded to the jugs (the best scenario), or worse, the crank shaft could be totally shot. I will keep you posted!
