I nursed him home and put him to rest in the garden for now until I can afford to get him fixed. Luckily I was already looking around for a 2nd bike and I managed to get a great deal on Fleebay. Just need to to all the mods again. So I was curious how many members have got to a similar cross roads? Did you go through with a 2nd hand lump, engine rebuild or just try to sell the old horse on?
Are you sure the primary drive nut hasnt cone loose? Look on youtube for xt660 crank knock or my page marvy finger bottomm . Ot has both the noise it makes . And the fix
