BRAND NEW YD100

My Raw Racer 100 locked up today with less than 100mi. on it, good luck!
thats a craapy deal,sorry to hear that. did you happen to look if they installed the piston correctly before using? there have been lots of reports about the pistons being installed backwards
 
Piston and head have to be installed. Ring gap toward the intake, Disassembled and found a large groove in cylinder near exhaust. will post pic later.

your circlip that holds the wristpin in broke off and gouged your piston and no doubt your cylinder, youll need a new piston,rings,circlips and cylinder. never reuse the circlips or that will happen again.

you can find the parts you need here
 
I heard they (yd100's) come with the piston installed BACKWARDS,... so the first thing you need to do is GET THAT JUG OFF AND CHECK.

and while youre there,...turn the engine upside down and give it a thorough, solid 20 second shake. you would be amazed what gets past Chinese quality control (cigarette butts,...metal chunks,...etc...) people have found insane debris in lower ends over the years. don't get burned. 20 seconds.

i would skip the belt drive idea until your second or third build. by then you will better understand these things front-to-back,...and what is neccessary,..and what just isn't.

my yd-style motor (pictured) got me from Poughkeepsie ny. to richmond va. and back..... thru the crazy state of pennsylvania twice,...which is nothing but insane hills after insane hills. on an overloaded 29" surly cross-check bicycle.

yd's are the real deal.

i'm not defending zeda,...BUT,....lots of people have had horrible, horrible experiences with zeda's customer service,...so remember to factor that into your interpretation of the overall general opinion of your particular motor.

L hope you didn't use the piston cir-clips that came with it. They break and ruin the top end!
