  • Piston in to Pieces

    Two of my colleagues planned trip to Chennai last Saturday from Bangalore on his CBZ Xtreme and luckily two more colleagues who were suppose to go to Chennai via SETC bus planned to join them in their ZMA. They started from Bangalore at 5AM and it was just 15kms to Vellore suddenly there was a squealing noise produced from the bore and the Xtreme tuned OFF. They tried starting the bike immediately and kicker got jammed.
    I got a call at 10.30AM reporting the problem. I suggested them to check the Engine oil, wait for 15-20 Min, release the kicker manually and use self start to start the bike. They found that the Oil was completely Dry a and I asked them to find nearest Automobile store and fill in Castrol power1 20W-30, however still unfortunate the bike did not start. They towed the bike to a nearest Mechanic and he said that the engine is seized and this is what they saw when the bore was opened -
    Piston was broken in to pieces, they left the bike for service and collected on monday while coming back to banagalore. Total cost involed was 35000
    Parts replace was - New piston/Rings, Connecting ROD, packing kits .....

      Any reason behind how this happened......
      I heard that 4stroke engine gets Seized only if the replacement of Engine Oil is not done in correct Intervauls......

      Or is there other reasons for these things to happen --- coz 35000 for an Engine seize --- almost an amount by which we can buy a 100cc Bike....

                By seeing the last pic seems that the bike has not seen oil from past 200kms or more, i must say pure negligence, this happens to people who use there bikes just as commuters and don't care a heck for normal check ups.

                        Well the Bike owner said its almost 2000kms the engine was changed.
                        I wonder that the Bore had issues and started drinking oil and resulted in Oil Dry and Engine sieze, also negligence of the owner toooo.

                        I got a chance to look at the bike when they came to bangalore, engine noise and highrings noise from the bore.
                        He was not sure if the parts replaced were Genuine HH
                        More over the engine oil was very black when checked, bike had done just 200 Kms

                        I suggested him for a Re-bore or a new Bore kit if the Oil gets dry again

                          Your friend should have taken the bike to a HH authorized service station, instead of a roadside service station. 35000 is really huge amount for an engine repair. Your friend spent 35000 and he still is not sure if the spares are genuine.

                          It might be possible that the piston rings have gone and the bike drank all the engine oil. The photos clearly state that the bike engine seize happened due to no engine oil.
