KDX locked engine due to fall, and once started makes rattling noise?
Got a kdx dirt bike, and it fell on the kickstart / gearbox side. The kick start locked so I couldn't start the bike. Going downhill didn't solve the problem as the rear wheel was locking.
After the engine cooled down and some ferocious kicking, the kickstart gave way and the bike started, but there was this metal to metal rattle in the engine.
Seems like a problem in the lower part of the engine, a bearing, broken crankshaft... dunno
Aslo ther bike lost power.
Of course im taking it to the mech but I would like some tips / advice of what could have happened.
thanks for your help

well if all those probs started after you dropped it then the kick start gears/return isnt returning,it may be constantly spinning with the engine...
dropping a bike wouldn't cause the bearings/crank to knack up...
rebores on those are expensive as there nickle coated...your looking at £100 just for a rebore
