[h=2]Ok - been a while - I was here last year a lot when my SRX and Viper needed top ends etc. I do appreciate all the input.[/h]
So - I need some advice on what to do. My SRX had the top end burn down (I did something stupid - my fault) and I replaced 2 jugs and three new pistons rings etc and head. Local mechanic did the work in NH. Well about 100 miles later - I was out riding and she just stopped. Could not pull her over - locked. I feared the worst. We towed her home - next day she starts up! Like nothing happened. I ride about 200 more miles - season ends - she gets set up for a nap. Seemed like some anomaly.
This year - she runs great - I put about 200 more miles on - then boom. She shuts down, same thing as last time. Will not pull. Off to mechanic. One Burned piston, crank shaft is toast. My mechanic says part her out not worth repairing etc etc.
So what could have caused this? Should I try to repair her? Or really just part it out? Best riding in Decades in NH and I am down.
