What a drag!
I'm out on my motored bike, havin a freewheeling good time when
all of the sudden, I feel the motor give way and start to vibrate in
an alarming fashion. Upon inspection, it turned out that the long stud
in the rear had broken off. I found it on the road, and wouldn't you
know it, it broke in about the worst place it could have, right about
1 millimeter below flush on the casting.
So I took the whole thine apart, drilled it and extracted the stud with
an EZ-out. Fortunately that went smoothly.
Now to find some replacement studs, and I'll be back in business.
I have to say, I am a little dissapointed that a stud broke off after only
about 5-6 hours of runtime. Not too broke up about it though...it is just
a cheap chinese bike engine. I expect a little bit of crappyness...kind of
comes with the territory.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if so, where were you
able to locally procure some replacements?
