[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 706213, member: 27963"] the piston probably shattered because of too much clearance. Another thing you're probably not wanting to hear but... the bike is 8 years old and you really don't know the true maintenance schedule from the previous owner. My suggestion at this point is to rebuild the whole bike,since "I" can't stand new problems arising without warning. I would get that swingarm bolt out bleed or blister and rebuild the entire engine with atleast new bearings everywhere then I would rebuild the complete rear suspension. That swingarm bolt should be snug not stuck , kinda tells me that there is a problem with that and who knows what else is a problem unless you inspect everything. It would be cheaper and safer to repair anything that might be a problem now then to wait for something to fail possibly ruining a good part or causing an accident. Any particular questions search these forums and ask, also might be a great time to offer a mechanically inclined person in the neighborhood a beer. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
