Went out an rode my stuntbike a little today. Halfway through it started to make a clicking sound. The sound got worse, and the bike kept loosing more and more power. Now I cant even hardly bounce a wheelie up in second gear (stock gearing). I cant even clutch it up in second gear, no matter how far I rev it.

Right after the clicking began, I checked the oil, and it must have been just under the dipstick because I had checked it just the other day. I went to the nearest gas station and filled it up fuller, almost a whole quart. Now it was way over the line on the dipstick, but as I went home, the sound kept getting worse. Now I am at home, and my bike has no power and sounds horrible. Did I destroy the engine by not having quiiiite enough oil, or what? Im pretty upset, anyone else have this happen? help me out! Thanks.

 

bump, no one else have this problem? Heard of it? hlep!

 

i had a 99 900. it had that clicking sound, but i think mine was the cams turning in cold weather? i sold my bike to some gay *** mexican who then put tribals and and ghost graphics on it and **** but anyway, i heard that the valves had to be redone after i sold it, they were bad....i had 20000 miles with no valve job in 15000 of riding so maybe thats ur problem.

 

my bike made this sound too, I had about 20,000 too and the mechanic working on it now says that my piston is knocking up against the head, but we'll see what it is forsure in a couple days. Sux i havent riddin in over 3 months.

 

sounds like you might of spun a bearing

 

Thanks for posting up.

Maybe I shouldnt be doing any tank wheelies close to redline with low oil. Im just learning spreader wheelies and Im getting it up in first gear and finding the BP, and I usually find it pretty close to the redline, unfortunaly. Wont do that anymore (if I can get this fixed) untill I get a different oil pickup.

I will try to check these things out. Sounds costly, and I have no money right now. I guess the stuntbike is outa commission for a bit

 

that what im thinkin.
