Default Check this damage....Hurricane

Went for some bashing around a new track today with my Hurricane (we call it a bazooka out here) and my Monsoon. Got a bit crazy at the end and cut loose. Think I will have to get the hammer out to fix this one[sm=47_47.gif].

How did the piston get scored? Lose an air filter?

It was a back flip off a big triple gone wrong. The impact was big enough to break the head off the steel screw that secures the chassis support rod to the chassis, so once the stiffening effect was gone everything else just gave way. Yeah I think I can fix everything without spending any $$$ as I have spare parts and a hammer.

The was out of the monsoon. Same jump, same accident. I think the harsh landing dislodged the wrist pin clip and the piston ate the clip. doh!
