Was goin down the rd comin back from my buddys house and passed a few cars wide open. Prior to all that I took off my reed cages and inspected them, so I dunno if I had a air leak aorund one of the cages or if I pinned it too long and ran it lean. I passed a truck runnin probably 70 and I got around him and took off, let off the gas and it died so I coasted into a field. Well took off the head today and the right piston was seized up in the jug. Left side was loose. Right side one was burnt very badly on top, and the right side rod bearing on the crank has exploded and pieces of it are everywhere..So it's either rebuild this one or buy another motor...I'm an idiot. Should've just stayed home rather than goin on a 8 mile trip.

Stock is 64.00...

 

What happened?

Yeah, this is the second time it was rode. I was tryin to get home in a hurry..My gf was pissed off I was out and drinkin at my friends for a minute. blah blah...So I took off tryin to get back ASAP, passed a truck and I'm assuming I held it wide open for a second too long because it just died instantly after I got around the guy. :confused:

The banshee motor comes out of a roadbike. If it is set up right you can pin it forever and it will just keep going. Ive owned powervalve and non powervalve RZ's, and I never once was worried about riding WOT for extended periods. 200 km trips were common.

 

Sucks that your motor blew up, but make sure that you find out what caused it so it doesn't happen again.

 

BTW drinking and riding are just retarded. No matter how cool you think it is.

but where you from?

where im from if i pass a car im getting arrested, i need to move, lol

have to stay on the trails here and thats far away from the traffic, lol

I live in a rural area in southern Ohio. Trust me there are cops always where I was at but I really wasn't worried because there is open flat fields on both sides of the road I was on. It was dumb, I should've stayed on a little side rd, I really wasn't thinkin.
