Topic: It went bang, now it wont crank
Last year i started rebuilding a 2000 Kawasaki ZX9R someone drug behind a trailer for a few miles, tore apart, let it sit for 2 years, then didn't want to put it together.
After 2 months of bike parts taking up my living room, i finally had it running. On my first trip out, just as i got on the highway, it sputtered and stalled. After towing it home, I remembered it needed more than a half gallon gas in order to run. A week later, I put more gas in and when I pushed the starter it made about 1 revolution then went bang. Heart broken.
That was last August.
Tonight, I felt like opening it up. To my surprise there were no metal bits in the oil. When I pulled the oil pan off an looked at the crank, everything looks OK. the rods are in one piece, the end caps are on, but the engine is still seized.
Any ideas / suggestions?
