Just picked up a 2002 650 for dirt cheap. It had 564 hours and 1500 miles on it. The owner told me that it started pinging sound and he just shut it off and left it parked. Anyways...heres what i know.
Bike starts easy
pinging/knock is there all the time
Clutch has been removed and the knock is still there
oil was a little low, but not more then a 1/4 quart
Motor was not run for more then a few min with the knocking/pinging.
Is this most likely a crank bearing? Im figuring thats what it will end up. Should I replace the crank? How can i tell if the crank is damaged? just looking for some places to start. im going to tear the engine down myself and do the work so a shop doesnt have a field day with me. I just thought if i posted my symptoms it may lead to a general place to begin. Im going to drain the oil and check for metal shavings and also remove the filter. Any help is greatly appreciated.
