Whats wrong with my bike?

Question

i have a tt225 from 1986. it was working perfectly until one day of riding, after about 2 hours, i was riding slow and i guess i wuz in too low of rpm to shift but shifted anyways to 2nd gear, and it shut off. but when i tried to turn it on again i couldnt kick it over. so i rolled the bike for a few meters and it was able to turn over again. but now it wont start and it makes a weerd clinging noise when i kick it over. theres still spark, compression, all that stuff but wont start. what do you think is wrong with it?

Answer 1

check to make sure u have the right oil filter in it. this happened to mine and i had the wrong filter. what happens is that oil can not reach your overhead cams, therefore creating pressure underneath the piston. the sound is the unoiled cams

Answer 2

fouled pug maybe  is it a two stroke

Answer 3

Did it happen when you were "Racing"

Answer 4

You would be better off asking this question the Transport section under Motorcycles.

You will get more answers there.

This thread is just for Racing.

Answer 6

sounds like to me that you need to ask this question in the non racing forum,  a forum like cars and transportation, motorcycles..... maybe guardrailjim could help you in this....
