Well my weke away came to a grinding halt LITERALLY!
The 250es has always had my real smoky motor in it. It smoked like a SOB, I knew it was on its way out but it kept on chugging.
When I was riding home to load my bike onto the ute it just started to die out. So I stopped shut it off. Let it sit for a min. Then started it again. She went for about 20 mtrs (mind you the head was really quiet, it used to tick bigtime aswell). She then just slowed down died. And I checked the oil and it was so bloody hot, so hot it was smoking out of the filler cap hole, but still full.
Im not sure what happened but she now has no compression and turns over real slow.
Im putting my money on fried rings. What extent do you think the damage has done to my poor old girl? :cry:
Thanks
Matt
