**** MY LIFE....blew f4i motor

let me start by saying this is NOT my "stunt" bike....tho it HAS an oil pick-up and has only seen a few highway wheelies.

i'm sure most of you in this section read my other threads on "ticking sound", and "f4i transmission" and "blown head gaket".

this is the same bike....this ************ is cursed

anyway, after 3 months of putting **** back together, i take it for a spin....it runs, but like ****...i could not pow pow wheelie it...and when i clutched it to balance point, it started losing power and wanted to come down..

1/2 mile later we stop to eat...30 mins later i turn on the bike and the oil pressure light + the red light(next to green neutral light) will not stop blinking.

tho i noticed when i rev it, oil pressure is fine, so like a retard, i crank up the idle and jump on the freeway.

i hit rev limiter in first gear except it sounded like the rev-limiter didn't work and the bike continued to 15k...etc rpm...(i diddn't hear the na-na-na-na..")

anyway, i pull in the clutch, WOT...it hits the limiter, but then dies..

i pull over and the side of the freeway, and the motor won't turn.

push it back 2 miles to my garage (my buddy pushed it with his leg on the peg...east coast style)

drained the oil...very little (if any) shaving.

took off the clutch cover...could not manually turn the motor...seaized/stuck/blown?

and i'm scared to take off the cams because the motor isn't at TDC.

SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME POSSIBLE GOOD NEWS?!

p.s. the ONLY thing i did out of the ordinary to the bike was that i replaced the washer behind the cam chain guide to a thinker one...maybe twice as thick...(not the orange guide...the black guide that the tentioner pushes against.

I love how you decide to bang it off the limiter in an attempt to "fix" it since it wasn't running right.

buying a motor and swapping them out is easier.
