For about the last 5 or 6 times I've been on my bike I heard what sounded like a piece of metal bouncing around somewhere while the bike was running...I couldn't find the source so I thought it was inside the muffler (kind of like a clanging sound). The motor worked fine and the bike ran great so I didn't pay it much mind. Finally the other day the metal sound got really loud all of a sudden, made an aweful grinding sound and then the bike just wouldn't go. The engine stayed running but when I'd give it throttle, the engine just revved, the drive gear wasn't spinning and the bike wasn't moving. Whatever it was that is on the inside of the engine that transfers the power of the engine to the drive gear must have snapped. When I shut it off and spun the gear with my finger I could hear the metal claning around inside. Does anyone know what this could be an how extensive / difficult a repair it will be to fix?
