I think you just found out why the rod is bent! Hydraulic Lock. You can compress a Gas but not a Liquid. :oops:

thanks danger. what makes you say that kaw rider? doldguy, i was riding the bike when it gave up there was no water and the rads were full when i stripped it. i did notice the big end bearing is shot to so that may have given up and then bent the con rod. it doesn't matter i plan on doing a complete rebuild anyway. i.e cylinder replate, piston, all bearings and seals, con rod  and any thing else that is not to standard, thanks for your input guys

I believe '89 was a split year that could contain the newer or older ignition, but yours looks like the bigger flywheel.  I would say one from a '90 up is what you need.
