My name is Kyle Lyth, I have a KTM 450sx and race Pro Class in Western Canadians and CMRC, along with Pro and Pro Amateur Triple Crown and QXNW this year. I also Ice race in the CMRC. I'm not new to riding. Anyways, I'm 16, I bought a blown up banshee for $300... I'm new to 2 strokes, and I need a hand with the mechanics. I'm very fond of the four stroke counter parts (YZ-F 426 rebuild x2, KTM 450sx rebuild x1) and haven't owned a 2 stroke since I was 7. I took the the head pipe off the left cylinder first, and poured half the cylinder wall right out of the pipe (lol). Right side was intact. Took the cylinders off, discovered the case left side of the whole motor was just a salad of piston remains and needle bearings. Right side piston cracked and damaged Left side completely destroyed, bent crank, and rod. My question is, what the f*** happened? Starting repairs soon! I'm also wondering what I should look out for and what I should replace. My cousin is Shawn Lyth, I believe he is on here somewhere...
