I landing on his tire and nerf we got jammed together....so here comes the second moto im doing good 3rd place with a pretty good lead on the fourth place guy....next thing u kno my quad stalls and locks up.....so i torn it down tonight and i found out that my main bearing in my crankshaft froze or locked up.....i had oil in it and everything....Now my piston sleeve is knicked up pretty bad so i have to bore it out and get a bigger piston.

That was the first thing I thought of too. For some reson for the 05's honda used a cheaper crank berring, and I have hear of quite a few people having problems with them.

Ya that is weird cuz i have alot of motocross, trail riding and winter riding on my quad
I also rebuilt this thing 3 times since i had it and yeah its an 05 so i dont have a clue 2 what did it.

Also before this happened i had 4 laps of practice on it and then i had like 1/2 lap the 1st moto and like 3 done on my 2nd moto and then it happen. It scratched my walls up badly and my piston so now i have to bore it out and get a new crank.

ive heard it with the 04's aswell, but i believe it was only a small batch, ive only heard of it happening to around 20 people on this whole site, so im hoping it was just a small batch

I'd blame that one on Trinity. They did do the head work.

I bought an 04 left over in march this year. It locked up within 15 mins of riding. The dealer said that they replaced the crank bearing, oil pump,piston and cyl also. I rode it all summer HARD!!!
I never had any problems with it. But it always used a little oil. I traded it in for the 06 and I glad I did.
