Okay, so I just got home from riding at my buddies track. Well, short story- My bike won't start anymore. First I'll give a little backround for those who don't know my "current situation."
I got my bike this summer. It had its piston replaced right when I bought it. I rode it all summer, no problems... Until about Jan-ish. It was making a funny sound when I rode. I still haven't figured out the problem. It sounds like a whirring type of noise, I think it is in the exhaust. Last week when I rode my friend said that he could see smoke coming out of the pipe, around where there is a re-weld. Mid-way through our 'riding session' my bike began to pop a little more than usual, it seemed like I was running reg. gas, not premium.
So today I went riding and at first there wasn't anything too unusual, the popping that started last week, and the 'whirring sound,' which I had assumed to be a hole in the exhaust. Again, mid-way through our 'ridding session' it started acting up. It started loosing power and sorta bogging. Then it died! So, I tried starting it about an f-ing million times, no luck. So I took the spark plug out to see if it was black. It was, and I tried to sand it. It didn't work.... STILL!! But when I put the plug back in and tried to start the dang bike it felt like there was NO compression AT ALL. (could that be the spark plug not in all the way? or not seated right?)
My friends dad (who has raced 2t 4wheelers and mini-sprints; co-owns truckrepair shop) said he thinks that I blew the top-end. I really want to know what I need to get if this is the case. So if someone posts the rebiuld kit that would be great. Also, please say what spark plug to get.
So I am REALLY wondering WHAT is going on!!!! AHH. Someone please help me! Is it just the plug and the exhaust? Do I need to re-jet it? New Gaskets? New piston seals? Any ideas?? Please help! And when you answer the more detail you give the better! I'd rather you treat me like an idot (which I sorta am. lol) than a genius.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this, but After I changed the plug it made a loud *POP* and right about then was when I began to notice the lack of compression. Also, the plug was an NGK R and the name/code thing started with a b and ended with a g, so not to sure about that. I have 2 topend rebiuld and 1 bottom end rebuild kit. Is that what I need?
Thanks for any replies!
