DaveLester Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Firstly hi all, new here and really hoping for some good advice. So yesterday I was going along at around 68mph in 6th and all of a sudden I heard a strange noise ( like a loud deflating noise pffffft) then felt back wheel lock up slightly and bike start slowing down, I dropped a couple gears and kept the bike going. Rode it about another 1 and 1/2 miles home with a horrible clunking noise. I'll be honest there wasn't much oil in there when I checked. I've topped it up and started the Nike this morning, it sounds normal while in N and idleing. Had a ride up the street and when accelerating I hear the horrid noise like something rattling around. Obvious question what have I done? Tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhat250 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Yip. big end gone, don't run it any more, [ if you intend fixing it], a retro fit engine from breakers might be cheaper, Airhead " guy on Dt forum after your panels, [ dt175] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLester Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Would it be cheaper to buy a another engine then? £400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
