F*ck my luck

[wolfo68]

lol, the sh*t keeps coming and today wasn't any different. On my way home I was riding down the interstate and all of the sudden my bike's exhaust got really loud, naturally I pull over to check and see what it might be. Just by looking I couldn't tell anything other than the noise right off of the bat. I checked my race can since I've already had to weld it once, the muffler checked out so I moved up to the headers and checked the studs. I couldn't see any missing or see any cracks in the header, but when I started it up I could feel air escaping off of the rear header. I hope back on the bike and ride down the road a bit to get a little closer to home. I got about 10 or 15 miles before my bike hiccuped and the cel came on. well I could tell immediately that it was because the bike was hot, so I sat there while my bike cooled down. once it had cooled down I continued upon my way. the next time the cel came on I stopped again and noticed this time that my seat had gotten incredibly hot while riding. I took off the seat and checked to see if anything was abnormal. The header must have cracked and was blowing toward the fan because I could see it moving. once it had cooled I put the seat back on and drove til I was a couple of miles from home and the light came on again, when I stopped this time I noticed that the fan didn't kick on, seemed abnormal but I was almost home and my phone was dying so I couldn't call for a lift. so I drive into town and my bike dies about 2 blocks from my house so I push it the rest of the way, when I got home I found my fan melted from the heat coming from the header. I'll post pics when my phone gets enough charge.

You need a little bell mounted on the bike to keep the little gremlins away. I kid not.

He's got pics on his Facebook.

My guess is the O2 Sensor.

 

[wolfo68]

sorry guys I couldn't get my phone to upload last night and I had court this morning so I haven't gotten them on, I'll get to it in a few minutes, it wasn't the O2 sensor either, it was in fact a piece of the cylinder, I don't know how but it seems to have blown a chunk out of it

edit: I put the 9 motor from Christine in my 12 frame, I just have to put the wheels back on and I'm at least able to ride something.

 

[wolfo68]

this is how it sits right now, I'm going to tear the 12 motor down this weekend and see how bad it really is, on that first picture on the right side there is a chunk missing right where they meet
