Yamaha RD125LC mk1 unfortunately it has a mk1 DT engine, but has quite a few genuine spares thrown in with the deal.

Thanks Chris, they have a bit of a following on fb and going up in value. Looking forward to playing with it

He will still need a step up Al...

I've ride out with my mates this year and 2 miles in, my engine has gone pop. Gutted

What sort of gone pop?

Hi Tony. It started with a noise which sounded like a whistling from the engine. It then stopped making that noise and it had a knocking noise. This was 2 miles into the ride out and I stopped after around 500m or so.

I could see a small amount of oil coming from somewhere on the left side of the bike. I couldn't see where from looked to be from the top of engine.

Once I've cleared my head ill start to strip the bike down. I my just have to get hammered today..

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Jason

I’m hoping he will do a straight swap with his LC

Did it have automatic cam chain tensioners?

No pal, I changed them last year to manual ones.

Found the problem, manaul CCT bolts have fallen off! I did lock tight both fitting.

I hope nothing has been damaged.

Opps. I would imagine that the minimum amount of damage will be bent valves but only a strip down of the top end will tell.

Did you shut it down ASAP or was it running for a bit sounding like a bag of spanners ?

Just out of intrest where did you get the MCCT's from ?

How long ago did you swap them ?

Have you ridden it much since the swap ?

Hi Mac,

Swapped them last summer and I've only covered arou d 400 to 500m since then due to lock down. I can't them off ebay, good reviews and lots of sales.

I've just checked the MCCT and it's tight, I don't know what happened to the other.

If the piston is bent, what kind of cost am I looking at? Bike isn't worth more the £1500 I guess!!!

On the up side, I'm half pissed and watching the GP, come Sam...
