Hey everyone,
Just finished rebuilding the engine. Took it for a 2 mile test run yesterday, put it through all the gears and began the break-in process.
Go to warm the bike up today. It kicks over no problem. The bike is idling for maybe 30 seconds and I hear the most awful CLANK sound and the bike dies.
Go to kick it again and the pistons have no compression. I can turn it over easy by pushing my hand on the kick start.
HERE IS THE WEIRD PART:
I went to take a look at the valves and none of the valves move when I kick the bike over OR when I put a socket wrench to the rotor.
The only thing I can think of is that the cam chain snapped.
