Title: Bike wont start...Valve problems?
Post by: Weston on October 19, 2008, 09:49:40 PM
So... Last night I was riding home, and I got to my parking lot and decided that it would be a good time to do a wheelie. So i did a small one, soon as i the front came back down, i pulled the clutch and the engine died. Now everytime i crank on it or try push start it makes loud valve clicking sounds.  I pulled the spark plugs today to take a peek, and the clicking is deffinately louder in the left cylinder. Also, Both pistons are still going up and down, and the valves seemed to all be opening and closing from what i saw through the spark plug hole.

Did I bend a valve? or break one? or break somthing else?

hmm, maybe bent one. just don't run it till you find out for sure. don't want that thing breaking off and destroying everything else !

keep us posted.
