alright, so i was riding on sunday, and i turned the bike off after riding pretty hard. i went to kick it and the kicker was locked up. i looked down at my sightglass for the oil and the thing was empty. i figure the piston is locked up. i changed the oil on saturday and everything is tight. i pulled the drain plug out after it locked up and barely any came out. the drain plug was tight. i am using the amsoil 0w-40 synthetic oil, same as i always use. does honda cover this under warrantee? i dont understand what could have happened. the oil did not leak out. by the way it is a TRX 450r 05'. please help.

 

put all of the stock items back on the quad and put oil in it and take it to the dealer. if you don't have the stock parts, get on ebay and get them back. my friend blew his yfz450 and he tore the cams out and all of the other stuff he had on it and had it taken care of. it blew 12 days before the warranty ended but they did it. it took over 3 months though. i wonder what the hell you were doing. how thin is that oil. what is recamended and what temperature do you ride in.

 

i am leaving the HRC kit in because i dont know how to take the cam out. also it is a honda probuct. but honda products is all it will have when it goes back.

 

i was riding in 70 degree weather.

 

if the warranty is still good and if you need a new motor, they will replace everything and you will lose your cam. they replaced my friends whole motor, when he got it back he put his stuff back in.
