Seized up


zzzz

Recommended Posts

Went riding and bike seized up. Kick starter wouldnt budge. Pulled heads and cylinders, and I definitely burned up the left side piston. I've rebuitl the top end before, so that's not a big problem. But my question is, since I've removed the cylinders, shouldn't the kick starter move? It is still frozen and I can't move it. Also, this might be a dumb question, but can I replace the stock domes on the stock cylinder head or do I need to buy a new head? Thanks.

Thanks Gravel, I guess I shoulda just googled that question. Anyways, it looks like my crank is effed up. Lots of free play in the connecting rod. Even found a few random pieces of metal floating around in there. Bought brand new in "92 with little to no problems, so I guess I can't complain too much. Any advice on which crank to buy? Gonna keep it stock length. As far as the head goes, is Noss good. It says you don't have to change out the bolts with the Noss. Also, what dome size if I want to run pump gas at sea level. Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks guys. She'll be done and gettin her first ride at Silver Lake July 4th

Id go with a new oem crank or a hotrods. Get it welded. Fresh seals and fresh topend. Id cut the tranny when it's apart and do a few other things. Just depends on how involved ya wanna get with that tho.
