hi guys coming back from friends house, about 5 miles after about 4 miles it felt like the engine nearly locked up but i could of let the throttle slip back as was holding on loosley have dont it before.
But what i have noticed is low revs it sounds like somthings ticking/clicking it disaperes with more revs.
i got back home fine i cruised at about 35 40 for the rest incase anything happend.

the bike is a kymco stryker 125.
is the engine screwed Crying or Very sad

ok the engine oil doesnt look to good at all, so will change that and see if it makes a difference.
it doesnt have alot of oil it in so could this be the problem ?
i cant see any bits of metal or swarf in the oil .

it could have siezed and unsiezed itself straight after you eased off the throttle. It's great making armchair diagnoses without seeing the bike or hearing it. Laughing

It's worth getting a bike shop to give it the once over Shocked

The last one i worked on had a "poreus" head meaning it leaked from the cylinder itself, get it looked at asap and see if its anything or nothing

ok guys please dont slate me too much Rolling Eyes

The noise it was.... ermm the horn loose and hitting on the frame at low revs Cool

The oil level, well when you hold the bike up it looks better Razz

The oil level was just above the low marking.

when i mean the oil didnt look good, it was black, the stuff i was putting in was a clear brown/yellow colour so im guessing it was due a change.

Thanks alot for the help guys

Oil will go black almost right away when you change it so you can't very well use that as a guide. You should keep a record of the mileage you change it at so you know how many miles you've done between changes.
