Oh good question, I have no idea and nothing in particular ever happened to it.
Well unless you consider 150 hrs of ice riding being a problem, that is.
Its quite abusive and Id reckon some parts will take more abuse than from woods riding, but cracked cases I wouldnt think of.
Interesting place to crack. The front sprocket rotates forward and the engine want to counter backwards, the swing arm mount and top mount stops it but the engine flexes between them? Or do you think this comes from the crank? Fatigue from vibrations?
Was thinking about how to mend the engine, do it myself or let someone else do it for me. I have no experience in setting the crank true so I gave peter at FP Engineering a call and Im happy to say he will do the job for me
I dont have any connections on transport from Nyköping Sweden to Wiesau Germany, if anyone can help with either contacts for shipping or you are/knows a friend travelling to the east of Germany, Id be most thankful, please PM me!
Bye bye, see you soon One Box with the engine and the other box with the donor stuff. Off to FP-Engineering Germany.
To get a decent price on shipping from sweden to abroad, put it on a pallet is the tip, then it qualifies as a business shipping. Its what I learned anyway, this half pallet of 45kgs was just approx 125 euro to ship, using DB Schenker.
This is probably just exciting to me as all you can see is a couple of boxes, but Im fairly confident a lot of you guys know the feeling Im having right now
Edit: bought the bike in 2012
After tuning it I got it running right in the beginning, ie 2016 ice riding season, and it was silly quick.
Soon after I had a filter issue (sure I could have prevented that)
Then the injector malfunctioned, and it took me the rest of the season to figure the problem. Late season of 17 I felt something bothered me riding it, so I handed the engine over to a local recommended tech, got the engine back, started it and it sounded like a drill hammer, jumped on the stop button and he had mounted a 450 gasket in it. And recently the cases cracked.
I hope Ive had my share of bad luck now Sigh...
Lol, pretty big mistake eh, but hey were all humans and Ive already moved along + hes a very likable honest guy.
Hopefully bringing the new iteration to life tomorrow, just need to put the oil in before pushing the start button.
