did the bike move when it was in gear? I'm having trouble because my Kickstart is locked and when my bike is in gear it wont move, any ideas of what's happening?
If you put your bike in gear and pull in the clutch, it should move. If it doesn't, it's possibly the engine is seized or there is a clutch issue. If the Kickstart is locked up, I would take the right side cover off and check to see what's broken, if there is something broken in there. You could also take a socket and breaker bar to the nut on the rotor (left side of the motor) and see if you can manually turn the motor when it's in neutral.
@@wickedrepairs8527I have the same problem kicker isn’t fully seized but it’s extremely lumpy and takes so much effort to turn over, sometimes if I put the bike in gear and rock it hard back and forward it’ll free up the kicker enough to do a couple more kicks then seize up again, is it most likely the top end ? I’m hoping it isn’t the crank. It’s a rmz 250 2014 model
@RobertBrown-c6n that could go either way really. Have to take the top apart and see what's going on. I'd say more than likely the top end but a crank bearing can do the same. How does the spark plug look? If it looks gray I'd say top end but definitely have to take the head off at least and the cylinder.
I enjoy working on motorsports way more than cars! Typically, you don't need a torch for everything lol. It can be challenging at times though and there's always new and different failures that surprise you when you think you have just about seen it all! Thanks Dan!
The only fixing this is rebuilding the entire motor. The crankshaft bearing failed. There's always fixing, it's just a matter of money and time! This would be a complete rebuild or motor replacement

@@wickedrepairs8527 Thanks a lot for your quick reply ! Going to tear her down next couple days, will keep you posted lol
@RobertBrown-c6n you're welcome! Definitely keep me posted, hopefully it's just a broken piston or rolled ring!
Why not.. I will never ride but bikes are cool.. these look easier to work on then a car motor.. but still takes time to get things done..

Brass in the oil never a good sign you need a Honda 🏴☠️😄
I’m watching this cuz I think my HONDA has fucking brass in the oil smfh
🙏
So is there no fixing it or what?
The only fixing this is rebuilding the entire motor. The crankshaft bearing failed. There's always fixing, it's just a matter of money and time! This would be a complete rebuild or motor replacement
Was it top end or bottom end?
Bottom end crank bearings
