Tapping out

[greg3852]

I give up. This bike hates me, and I hate it right back. Took it out for a rip, was doing great then I lost boost. Just checked and the turbo is locked up. I'm done. I am going to just sell it. I can't keep pouring money into it. If anyone is interested in a slightly possessed but otherwise good 400hp turbo gen 1, I will be selling it for $15k. I'll make a legit sales post in a few.

My .02
Park it
Pull the turbo and send it out, for bearings will only improve sale value of bike
Double check Oil Flow at Oil Feed hose while apart

Hopefully a long winter and reasonable rebuild cost remotivates you
I struggled with mine for a long $$$$
HOPEFULLY the light at end of tunnel for me

Turbo bike love hate relationship is very typical lol...Stepping away a bit will restore a bit of clarity, then stepping through is when motorcycle Zen is attained.

Yes I definitely think the oil feed line dried up causing the turbo to cook itself. Right now she is just sitting until I decide what to do.

I'd love to experience a turbo bike, but I can't afford the initial cost, increased cost of maintenance, AND dealing with PITA stuff like this...oh well

I will suggest to let her sit till the time you feel a strong urge from inside to ride her again and when that urge comes you will happily go extra mile to keep her running.
