Hi All,
Sorry to come here to pick your brains all over again, but you are just such a knowledgeable bunch, that i know i wont go far wrong.
I have searched the forum for similar posts, and gained as much knowledge as i can, but have some particular questions.
So, i was riding along last night, and a ticking sound was present for the last leg of the journey, this progressed to a fairly loud clanking sound and then towards the end of the ride there was a clang and the engine stopped, oil pressure light came on and i was rolling. I know i should have stopped sooner, but i was 5 mins from home and hoped it would last.
I gave the motor a quick spin on the started and all moved ok, but no fire, so this all leads me to believe the cam chain has gone.
I'm going to start tearing it down tomorrow when im off work, but sat in the office today i have been scoping around for options, so hoping you guys could help me.
1. if it is just the cam chain, i can replace this, what other parts should be changed whilst in there (also what parts should be checked for potential damage resulting from the chain break).
2. if the engine is toast, the first engine i have seen on ebay is a 97-00 daytona lump. As i already have the later FI system, is there anything else i would need to change for this motor to just drop in.
3. the second motor i have seen is a 2004 daytona, the seller also has most of the bike for sale, but i really need to know how much would need changing here, it seems like a big job, but the potential power gains of the gen2 motor are quite interesting.
My bike is a 99-00 Speedy, the changeover year, but has had the loom and ECU changed for the later Sagem FI due to wiring issues.
Any help i would really be grateful of, thanks in advance all.
