I enjoy working on motorsports way more than cars! Typically, you don't need a torch for everything lol. It can be challenging at times though and there's always new and different failures that surprise you when you think you have just about seen it all! Thanks Dan!
did the bike move when it was in gear? I'm having trouble because my Kickstart is locked and when my bike is in gear it wont move, any ideas of what's happening?
If you put your bike in gear and pull in the clutch, it should move. If it doesn't, it's possibly the engine is seized or there is a clutch issue. If the Kickstart is locked up, I would take the right side cover off and check to see what's broken, if there is something broken in there. You could also take a socket and breaker bar to the nut on the rotor (left side of the motor) and see if you can manually turn the motor when it's in neutral.
The only fixing this is rebuilding the entire motor. The crankshaft bearing failed. There's always fixing, it's just a matter of money and time! This would be a complete rebuild or motor replacement
Brass in the oil never a good sign you need a Honda 🏴☠️😄
I’m watching this cuz I think my HONDA has fucking brass in the oil smfh
Why not.. I will never ride but bikes are cool.. these look easier to work on then a car motor.. but still takes time to get things done..

So is there no fixing it or what?

Was it top end or bottom end?
Bottom end crank bearings
