Almost had a heart attack
Posted: May 7th, 2011, 7:10 pm
Finally get my bike together, fire it up and bring it up to temp... Couple of short laps up and down the street and just as I come to a stop, I hear this god awful rattling sounds. So I hit the kill button as quick as I possibly can, so my stomach is sunk at this point and I'm feeling pretty sick.
Slowly rolling the motor over I hear the same rattling....
So I rip the pipe off, and look in the cylinder and everything looks perfect! Thankfully!
Next I pull the ignition cover and the flywheel falls off into my hand as I pull it..... Oops must have forgotten to tightened the nut... Damn so this cost me a woodruff key (thankfully nice and cheap and easy) and sure scared the he'll outta me.
Go ahead and laugh at me on this one, I'm kicking myself like you wouldnt imagine!
