[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 737335, member: 20316"] Well, my FIRST EVER major bike repair is now staring me in the face. I have to do the top and bottom end on the KTM. Don't ask me how it happened, all of a sudden it got REAL loud and clattery sounding and that was that. Tore it apart and the bottom edge of one side of the piston skirt was broken, the crank bearing was toast, and there were all kinds of metal shavings in the bottom. PLUS, I accidentally screwed up the clutch basket tearing it apart. Stupid chick trying to be a mechanic. Oh well. I can't figure out why it would happen, since I did everything I knew how to be a good bike mommy. It got swamped last Memorial Day weekend, but I drained it and changed the oil and it has had a lot of miles put on it between then and now. I figured if that was a problem, it would have happened before now but who knows. Oh well. ON the brighter side: -The cylinder is ok, won't have to be bored. -The transmission is ok--I was worried that the noises were from broken gear teeth -Um, that's all I can think of. [/QUOTE]
