tsharktim Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 just picked up another bashee for $350 running. The left side was cutting in and out and had real low compression. I plan on going 4mil anyway, when I pulled that left jug the lower rod bearing was in pieces. Now would the bike be ridable like that kid I picked it up from said he had just rode it??? Like I said Im doin a 4mil anyway I just thoufgt that if a rod bearing went it'd cause the bike to seize or at least run like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieskes Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Are you asking that if your rod bearings are in pieces if you can still ride it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicklez Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Since you bought the bike for 350, you really cant complain. If you bought it for 2500 and the kid said it ran fine and you didnt test it out, thats a different story. I had the thrust washers come apart and it still ran.

tsharktim Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 maybe I misworded it...no Im not asking if I can ride it like that. I just thought there would be more damage done if someone had been riding w a missing rod bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My03banshee Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Nah wouldnt seize but i would think it made some kinda knocking noises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 more than likely it just happened and that is why the kid sold it. If the rod bearing is gone, it will throw that rod real quick. Sounds like you caught it just in time and you are lucky it didnt wipe out the cases and cylinders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not a bad deal for 350. I was on c list looking for a crank and found a set of t-6s for $150. I had to get them for mine, guess the crank will have to wait till next week....
