Locked Up
hello,
been awhile since ive visited.....
quick question; before i tear her down again......
(i know the quad from the inside out and have done a full rebuild from the crank up "new bearing") last season.....
was riding on sunday, she was performing prefect, nice and cool.....after ripping down a straight away for 5-10mins almost wide open, she just bogged out...5,4,3,2,1....stalled.....after that locked up, could not break her loose even dragging and dropping the clutch!?! well probably opeing it up tonight, but just curious to see if there were any suggestions on what too look for other than the obvious? hopping it may just be a piston or ring seized up, but what about the trans, has anyopne had one lock up? my only other thoughts is the decomp coming apart again! last time it took out one of my cams, and keep in mind it was new......
thanks....

I had a trans break a gear... it would still run... and so would yours either in neutral or with the clutch pulled.
Have had snap rings come out of pistons... that warns you with noise, but with that piston you have should not have that issue. Dropped valve it just stops dead, loose bolts can be either noise or sudden stop. About the only thing that kills a pistion like you have is running it lean, was your mapping dialed in?
