well drove 6 hours to go riding ...paid 70 buck for 2 permits ,80 dollars in gas ,and 70 for a hotel ...to take a quick 30 to 40 mile ride ....on my way to the deer antler inn bar in wellston ...and than it come to a end ....soundes like a rock hitting the skid plate than ting ting ting ting .....than sled didnt want to go and sounded like gears grinding ...so i remembered last year i had problem with tensioner ...than come a pack of rider pull up stop and have the nerve to tell me to get the F*** out of the way ....and than they took off ....not having a strap i called the guy i was meeting up with and he brought me a strap to pull it the last 1/4 mile to the bar .....got it into the light and got out the flash light and than i saww it ......now trying to figure out what caused this any ideas ....i thought crank went out of phase but no its been welded ....thought mabe rust pulled the bearing and not a sign of rust or any contamination ....any thing else i should look at ?

Ouch!! That is nasty!
What is left of the piston?
Saw a Trail mod 650 Indy that ended up in a similar state after going severely lean due to a crankseal leak and then driven a long ways on the other two cylinders ,because of necessity to get from a remote area in extreme cold . All that was left of the piston was two globs of aluminum at the end of the piston pin and the rod finally let go as well leaving similar damage to the case.
The good news is:
-it happened in 2009, it was a nasty year, 2010 can only be better!
-what caused it should not be a problem after the complete rebuild
that you'll be doing!

Really sorry to hear this.
i can help you rebuild it if you want no charge. that sucks.
I have heard that if the carbs are not cleaned properly then you will oviously be running a little lean. The only oil for that con rod bearing is in your fuel mixture coming in. If there was a lack of oil then that rod bearing could have starded for oil and seized.
That sucks man....just the amount of time it takes to tear it all down let alone the money. I feel for ya. There are always cases on ebay. Check your thermostat when doing the rebuild.

Are there any major differencec in srx vs Viper cases? The reason why I ask is Viper king(i think) has a set of cases in the classifieds for $125. Yama all I can say is OUCH!! Good Luck in putting her back together. T
No difference for 00-02 but he has 98 SRX's so it wouldn't work

'98-'99 srx cases are a little different than '00-'02 srx and '02-'05 viper cases. rich needs a '98-'99 srx case.

Is the piston stuck in the cylinder? I did that a few years back with a red head triple. I think it was a bad base gasket casing it run lean as heck.the rod cut through the cases and the cylinder.. The problem is they usually run awesome before ya get "premature headlight failure"..
no piston moved threw cylinder like the others ....
