Hey, so here's a crappy story.
I'm riding my bike just fine, and then all of a sudden I hear a little noise from the front end.. ok I don't know what it is but it's still driving fine, I press on.
Just when I get to where I was going, the bike completely died, it will not fire, will not do anything.
I stop and check everything out, electrics are fine, starter is turning the engine over like crazy, but nothing.
I check the spark plug caps, they're all on tight and everything.. try to start, turning over like crazy but nothing.
It sounds like maybe I lost my cam chain? I don't know, I called my uncle and he listened to it over the phone and said it sounds like no compression, he's a harley guy so I don't know.
So now what? My bike is about 5 miles from home, no idea how I'm going to get it home and I know no one with a truck...
Want to know the best part? I had just sold the bike (I need the money for school and other things) and was driving it to the person's house because she didn't want to drive it home. Now keep in mind the problems I've had with this bike since I bought it have all been minor. Now, the second I go to sell it (was going to get $1700 for it too!) it completely and seemingly falls apart. I mean.. no compression? Now it's sitting at her house, I have no money, I have no transportation now.
This is nothing short then a negative act of god.
What do I do now? It's worth nothing to sell it in this state... I have no means of getting around, I just don't know what to do...
If it's the cam chain, how hard is it to fix? Should I put a new engine in there? How hard is it to actually do an engine swap?
what do I do guys? I can't take apart an engine myself, the bike in it's state is worthless.
I'm panicking here.. help me out?
