Hi All,
It wold appear that I have seized the engine on my BMW. I'm now on the hunt for a replacement engine.
After speaking with some experts here's what looks to have happened ...
1) My oil pressure sensor failed ... or the bulb burnt out (which is also possible considering the electrical issues I was having with the upgraded altenator)
2) The oil pump failed ... outright.
3) smooth riding ... to choppy ride ... to total bike stall
4) Restarted my bike via rolling start (I was going downhill)
5) Stall .. stop
6) Cruise to stop.
Tried to kick engine ... she's dead Jim.
So ... now I have to either rebuild the engine or replace the engine core. Seeing as the oil pump is underneath the cams .. which is a serious pain in the ass to get to on BMW engines ... I am trying to opt for the later.
Anyone know of an old BMW engine kicking around?
