After three years of riding, my bmp kit has bitten the dust, sad to see the engine outlast the kit though, it happened yesterday 6/4/2011 while i was riding down the 4 lane traffic, all of a sudden a very loud noise comes from the clutch while i was going at full speed, all of a sudden it drags my tire down and i come to a sudden stop, the person behind me slammed on his brakes, i immediately pulled onto the sidewalk to get outta traffic, i tried to restart the engine but nothing would move, i pedaled the rest of the half mile back home, and took the engine off the kit to see what was going on, and to my surprise the clutch pads were all the way wore down to bare metal and were snapped of in two places (that explains the banging sound). the off balanced clutch has destroyed all the bearing on the bmp kit and several of those metal beads in the bearings had fallen out and now the clutch bell moves around when you hit it, i decided to scrap it at the recycling center and made about 35 bucks, im gonna go ahead and buy me a chain driven kit and im getting an auto chain tensioner off ebay. i will be posting pics of my new build on here
