Ooopss!
« on: December 18, 2008, 08:55:01 AM »
I was running and gunning, over taking 3 quads on the left side - missed the shift (4th to 5th) - over-revved - "huge" back fire! - The beast starts running like its choking on something. Did a U-turn and rode back to the truck (about 4 miles), coughing and weezing all the way. All I'm thinking is "Please make it back!, Please make it back!......" - Made it to the truck. Took her home, broke her down, found this (photo).

There's nothing like a KX500! - Even when you screw up, it'll still get you home! 8-)

Yepp! - Had to fish out a couple of pieces from the crank case, some "very small" pieces that some how stayed stuck to the top of piston, :? and other location through out, but after about two hours of searching and cleaning, I'm "preetty" sure I got it all. :roll:

- I'm just amazed she got me back to the truck. :-o

All the way back, I kept promising my K5 that I would buy her something sweet if she made it back to the truck. I think that was the secret! :wink:

Still haven't decided what, but it's going to be really nice! I think she deserves it! :-D
