well, I finally did some serious damage to my bike.... But I'm not sure what caused it... I recently replaced the #50 pilot with the stock #52 and went riding today... First I got into some deep sand and got the bike hot, (I could smell a strong odor that smelled like burning rubber or clutch and the bike was smoking alot, even after I shut it down, there was smoke coming out of the pipe for about 10 min.) I let it cool and went riding again, everything worked fine, plenty of power, although the smell was still kind of there. After riding for about 30 min., I was going though some high speed whoops in fourth, when all of a sudden the bike went wide open, independent of the throttle...... I thought the throttle was stuck, but I could move it from open to closed with no effect on the engine speed.. Well, by this time I am starting to pick up some serious speed and have no control of the bike. I was headed straight for a big pile of rocks so I bailed off the back, the bike was still wide open.
I did many cartwheels and flips while bouncing off the ground every 10 feet.. Im sure the bike did the same.
damage:
I got lucky with just a twisted ankle and an assortment of cuts and bruises. The bike suffered a bent subframe (kinda bad), smashed pipe, and the motor won't start, feels like it has less compression, sounds different when I kick it over.
My question is this: what the hell happend? it ran fine before. The only thing I did was change the pilot (richer). I'm thinking It may be an air leak, but it came on all of a sudden, and what was that smell and why was the exaust smoking after I turned it off?
How much is a new subframe? Can it be straightend?
I had my gas mixed at 40:1 with mobile premix...
Help!
