It's probably b*llocksed. Most likely the crank, so if you put new shells in it will frag those too.

New motor is the simplest option by a long shot.

If you chose to rebuild you need a regrind, new shells. £130, gaskets £80. Loads of time. For that just pay £300 for fresh motor, drop it in and split original motor for parts.



Don't be a fanny.

Expensive and painful = you won't do it again

isnt the 99-02 models carbs and then mean you would need carbs as well? or would his k7 FI system all fit in nice and neatly?

Re: Never forget your oil
 

You need to change intake rubbers, rotor and stator. Then all EFI crap will fit, except for PAIR but just plug that up and leave be.

You can get some idea of the damage by draining the oil and filtering it through some cloth.If theres bits of metal or silver swarf in it you know a major part has shredded itself.Its probably sh&gged by your description,and an engine swap is your best bet.

P.O.W.E.R.

Petrol. Do you have enough?
Oil. Do you have at least the minimum, and if not, where's it gone? And why!
Water. As above.
Electrics. Does everything turn, light, flash and beep?
Rubber. Pressure and tread depth, general condition.

This is a bit of a faff, admittedly, but even done on every other ride should save a whole lot more faff in the long run.

My sympathy, it's so easy to forget something like tightening a sump nut. Hope you get a good deal on a new engine.

Re: Never forget your oil
 

Buy a 2nd hand engine and rebuild the old one yourself to sell on here. Won't get your money back but will teach you about spannering.

Re: Never forget your oil
 

There aren't many who would buy a rebuilt engine from Joe Bloggs on here.

Personally I would fit a replacement engine and break the old engine for parts. That way you still learn something.
