85r motor swap question

[yaegerb]

I put a few hours on my trx just taking it real easy, probably more than I needed, but I wanted to take the extra precaution on it. I had 2 trips to haspin, several rides around the house and farm on the trx after the break in, I'm guessing around 8 hours of actual hard riding on it. It ran great, no leaks no problems out of it till the swap. Like I said I'll post back after it gets pulled apart. I did get swapped back and we should be good to go for trikefest, least I hope

So the trx won't kick over now? This is a motor from BDT?? What was done to this motor? Holy shite man, issues galore. How does a trx motor with only 8 hours crap out that fast. Get your money back or you didn't break it in properly.....something isn't adding up.

It started to seize up, I'll post back when I find out more, I don't think it was there fault, I think I know what happend but I want to be sure before I jump to conclusions. It will be after trikefest sometime.

Every good builder stands behind their work if the failure was a shortcoming or mistake on their end. Not saying anything bad about BDT specifically here, but mistakes do happen and they can happen with anyone.

I still cannot think of a single reason swapping the mill into your ATC would be detrimental other than some oversight on your part and it seems as though you covered your bases. At this point I am thinking it is an incredible coincidence that something let go after the swap.
