Got a major engine issue.....got to find a new bottom end aka new engine or season is over....cant really afford it but cant afford not too...??

Major F****D off today........and will be visiting the guy i bought bike from.


I've found the problem. Unfortunately, it's not pretty.
At some point it's been repaired for a similar problem................by welding the fookin' flywheel to the crank!!!!!!!!
The weld has failed and took the keyway out for the alternator.
Not what you wanted to hear, I know, but there's no real solution other than to try and get another bottom end.
