sh*tty 18th birthday...

[Corey]

So if any of you know, my birthday was the most recent Friday. For my birthday I went to Florence Oregon with my brother to go riding in the dunes. So we get to our campsite, unload the bikes, pitch the tent, and go riding. No more than 10 minutes of us riding my bike stops out of nowhere and it seized up... I look at my exhaust clamp and it's bubbling because of how bad it overheated.. So my brother goes back to camp on his banshee and comes back and tows me to camp.. I tear the whole top end down and find out that I didn't blow my top end, but theres is score marks on my cylinder wall.. So what I do is instead of the 125 main jet i had it in it origionally, i put in the 160 that i have spare and go riding to the beach. Once i get to the beach and stop and look for a bit, i don't have enough compression to start my bike.. Keep in mind this was all the day BEFORE my 18th birthday... So my brother hooks me up and tows me back 2 and a half miles with his banshee back to camp.. I go lay down in the tent and go back to sleep.. Friday comes along, happy birthday to me.. We decided to say f*ck it and leave for home.. There goes my awesome 18th birthday plans... 8 hour drive there just to find out that i need to have my cylinder bored and honed and I need a new piston... There's another $250 right there... Story of my life...

Man that f*cking sucks, id be so f*cking pissed, but did you have it jetted right in the first place?? If i were to ride in the dunes or hot palces id jet richer for the overheating, even right now that i only trail ride i have it jetted a bit rich.

that sucks man.. thats what worries me, about taken long trips somewhere to ride.. wife planning atrip to black river falls this spring... im seriously thinking about bringing a spare top end kit and jugg with and the tools to change it, would suck to drive 4 hours one way and have the weekend ruined

Yes.. Do it...

And after it happened I had realized that I had had it jetted for cold whether, which it was where we were at.. But for pavement.. That's what really screwed me...

 

[super noober]

that definately blows the big one man but if you were jetted for the cold you would have been richer in warm weather. and what do you mean by you had it jetted for pavement? i think you may have something else going on, not just improper jetting.

125??? wtf too lean

 

[REEDracing94]

this happened to me at silver lake... we took turns riding the 3 quads we had tho... we rented a cabin so we took the top end of on the porch of the cabin.

karmas a biotch.

whats that supposed to mean?:-/

 

[yb200]

you should plug chop 125 lol that waayyy lean......

 

[4cfed]

wait... 125.. WTF???? my little 27mm carb on my stock bore stock stroke stock timing air cooled 250r.. im about dead on for 20-30 degrees on a 162.5

and i think by pavement meaning he went to dunes.. sand and snow are harder on motors.. run hotter from the stress

 

[Corey]

Yeah the 125 was waaay too lean. Once i put the 160 in it and took it back out for another 10 minutes i noticed a huge difference that was better. I think it needs to be at a 140 or 150. but anyways i'm calling the dude for the bore and hone tomorrow.

@89custom: what is that supposed to mean? (not like your gonna reply though because all you ever do is put your 2 cents worth and never take a second look)

 

[gearhead04]

Damn that is brutal!!!

 

[Blasterdude27]

Well that f*ckin sucks... sorry man

 

[Corey]

Tell me about it... I'll get some pictures up of the f*cked up cylinder walls after i tear it down tomorrow.

 

[blaster199]

that has happen to two of our bikes out at the dunes one was a 350 raptor and our blaster its sucks when it happen

 

[Corey]

Yeah dude, not only are sand dunes amazing to ride in, but their also brutal and unforgiving as hell... Honestly though, i wouldn't change it for a thing.. I love it so much. Here's everything that i'll be getting.

This to fix the clutch problem i'm having
FORGED EZ ADJUST CLUTCH OR...

This to fix the piston thats f**cked up...
FORGED BLASTER BIG BORE...

And I'm going to a local person that's also a weisco dealer for my bore and hone.

Total estimation: $250
