4t 125 goes bang. Costly?

[SoND]

My bike hasn't blew up, I'm just wondering if it does is it going to cost much to fix and would you be able to do it by yourself?

My rev counter hasn't been working for a while and I'm pretty sure I've went into the redline a few times.

Just want to know what I'm looking at if it ever decides to shit itself.

Hi

Depends what goes wrong, but the chances are it will cost rather more than a typical 2 stroke engine blow up.

All the best

Keep on top of the oil changes and you can rev it a lot. It's when you let it get low on oil where it starts having big problems. Even then, it's entirely possible it could free itself if it seizes when it's too hot.

Not sure, 125cc engines can't be that pricey though?

[veeeffarr]

Hmmm, A bit off topic but not worth starting a new thread for, is it possible to fit a tachometer on a bike that doesn't have one? Wouldn't mind one for the CG.

Hi

Depends on what goes wrong. Snap a cod rod and there is a fair chance that major components will be wrecked which will make it totally uneconomic to repair.

For a rough example, my 1200 Bandit jumped a few teeth on the cam chain. Result was 16 bent valves (no apparent piston damage). That is £300 just for the valves from Suzuki, let alone replacing any damaged valve guides or the gaskets.

All the best

I lost an MZ 4 stroke 125 motor on E-bay recently. It went for £100. That's for a 2003 DOHC, 4 valve head motor.

Would cost more than that in labour for a garage to look at it probably.
