2007 400ex 220 hrs. I was pinned in 4th on a road and heard a CLANK and it stalled and locked up. I grabbed the clutch and stood on the grab bar still in motion and tried to bump it and it squeeked loudly and fired up. Well now it will start when cold and will stall when it warms up. The other thing i checked the oil before i rode that day it was full and fresh after it locked up after a 1.5 hr ride it needed a quart and a half. Any advice would be great.

LOOKING AT YOUR SIG DOESNT LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE MODS WOULD IT STILL BE COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY?

:eek2: :eek2: It might be a top and bottom end. The only way to tell will be to take it apart.

If its still under any warranty don't touch it and take it back!

could have been a valve bent, brokeoff, rattled around before it stuck into the piston or something else seized up if the quad locked up. Its odd for a 2007 to go but then again I dont know how you take care of it or if you did mods how your did them
