Well it sure didn't sound good....shifted into third on the road coming back from a trail ride....heard a very distinct metallic 'snap', the engine lost all power and heard metallic sounds before I pulled in the clutch and coasted to a stop. When I kick it, I find no compression in the cycle...nothing, but it does kick and I don't have any metallic sounds when I kick it.
It sure seems like I've broken a timing chain, cam, ring, etc based on that sound and no compression.
It feels like it has become a 'parts' bike - is it worth it to drain the oil and look for metal or pull the tank and scope the cylinder? If I'm not gonna repair it, likely better for who buys it to examine the oil etc.
With no compression I just don't see any repair of the top end coming in under $1K. I just serviced most of the bike, new tires, etc. Go figure.
I'd love any input or advice on what to do next....I'm bummed
