2003 Kawasaki KX100 Engine Trouble

[WLG101190]

Ok, so yesterday I went riding and at first I would be going pretty fast, riding pretty hard, and all of a sudden it would just cut off, so I had to hold the clutch to stop from slamming on brakes, it did this about 3 times to be exact. Then I was going and there was a tree on the ground I had to cross, so I wheelied up and got over it fine, then it just stopped (it had been making weird noises since I started riding). So then I tried kick starting it, and the kick starter rod would not even go down, it just stuck up. So I tried to start it where you run with it, hold the clutch, put it in first gear, and it would start. But none of these works, and I tried everything I know, I think it might be the pistons though. Please help!

Yep, sounds like your pistons!!!! You did'nt forget to mix oil with your gas did you????If the kick starter is frozen- then take the plug out and pour some marvel mystry oil in the cylinder(about 2 table spoons) Leave the plug out and let it set for awhile-Then roll it backwards and slam it in first gear!! When and if you get it freed up, you need to rebuild the topend!! Good Luck!!

Where is a common place I can buy this, besides a local motorcycle shop? Thanks for the help a lot anyways.
EDIT: I just realized this was in wrong, forum, sorry guys.

You really need to get it apart first, and get it looked at and measured. It might need replated!!

chevy383cid thank you so much! I put it in neutral and pushed it backwards, then put it in first gear, then it started right up, although the sound is still pretty bad, thanks for the help man.

I wouldnt run it. Id check out the piston and cylinder before you make it worse. Sounds like you might have a piston skirt broke off and it is binding in one direction. At any rate, its pretty easy to check it out. Just a few bucks in gaskets if you dont find anything.

Oops, I went riding today and it got worse. But this time I had to walk it back about 2 miles, it was crazy. I think I should go ahead and get the top end rebuilt.
