Nutz Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I have a 2002 Shee with unknown amount of miles on it and stock setup. Im the second owner and have had some noise around the tranny for some time since I got it. Today, while in 4th gear or so, the motor locked up and stalled completely. I got it started again with major, loud noise comming from the tranny area. I limped it home with it running ok but with the noise still loud. It seems to be shifting the same as before without problems but the motor seems sluggish and loud. I did not drain the oil yet, I had to go to work and will drain tomorrow and look for shavings. Any help would be appreciated!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDD Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Probably a bearing that went bad. It was probably spinning in the race causing the slight noise until you got it hot enough that it welded itself together causing the lock up. Hopefully it wasn't the bearing with the split ring holding it in place. If it is you might have some damage to the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 It sounds like it might be a crank bearing also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Thanks for the help so far. Are there any tips or tricks to narrow down where the malfunction might be without gutting the thing????? I just drained the oil with no shavings or large pieces in it, just fine particles floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Is there a noise when the bike is sitting still, that gets louder when you rev it? if so, the problem is in the crankcase. I would pull the motor, and split the cases to see what's up. You may be surprised as to what you find.... Also, running it any longer, will further damage things. Hopefully you didn't screw up the cases, and you may be able to salvage them.... split the motor open, it doesn't take too long, and wll be worth the effort.....

Nutz Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Yes, the noise did get louder with it revved up initially. Now the noise seems to be comming from the cylinders area. I did do a compression test and had 120 on the left and 115 on the right with the engine run for only a minute or two. I dont want to run it long and further damage it. Could a damaged cylinder or rod lock up the wheels and then be able to limp home????? Im not sure I want to tear this apart and get in over my head!!!

raxen Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Easiest way to investigate is to pull that puppy out of the frame and split the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
