[QUOTE="CarnageZ28, post: 1274781, member: 87235"] First off, I am not getting rid of it blown up. I'd fix it and keep it at my cabin before I just cut my losses. The rest of the bike is immaculate. Seriously, its as clean as most late 2000' model bikes. Second, selling it to get something new, is retarded. I have a super clean 01' YZ250. Just picked this up as a project. Figured worst case scenario, I have a new bike for the cabin. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I dont want to be told sell the bike. I asked what caused it. I have rebuilt something around 35-40 2-Stroke bikes in the past 6-7 years with no problems. This one threw me off. It's not like I dont know what I am doing down there lol really. I just wanted a 125 as kind of a beater bike. The piston/ring is not catching the cylinder. The ports were chamferred, and cylinder still looks fine with the exception of a score from the metal, which I think, is big end rod bearing material. So it is possible to have a big end rod bearing go bad, without losing noticable smootheness in the bearing? Myself, and my cousin, a mechanic with 15+ years experience, double, and tripple checked the crank bearing for smoothness. It was smooth. There was no up & down play in the conn. rod. Only slight side to side play, which I have seen on most of the 2-strokes I have had torn down. Anyone have any other ideas as to what could have caused it? This is the only thing I can think of. I really want to get this thing together though. I love how the bike handles/feels and I really would like to get this thing running. Selling it blown up is definatly not an option though as it is, other than this, a very very very clean bike. [/QUOTE]
