At the 13000 km service, the Skyteam V- Raptor showed significant metal particles in the engine oil. At 13200 Km engine vibes increased beyond ignoring it.
The engine isn´t totaled yet and still ran good with normal performance. A repair might be possible with considerable but not overwhelming effort. (Bearings and possibly a new crankshaft.) The Season is just beginning and i do not want to start with an engine overhaul. Sometime in fall will be soon enough. So i bought a new Engine. The kit included: ready to install Motor plus carburator, CDI unit, regulator/rectifier, ignition coil. (just like Loncin deliveres it to the production line.) so i have some spares for future use. deinstalling engine ![]() empty frame ![]() New motor ![]() ![]() Ready to run ![]() Mess, still to clean up ![]() Still have to do the shakedown ride, but the engine runs good and smoth already. I will report about diagnosis and repair of the "old" engine in time. aah... cost factor was 690€ for the complete kit. regards Juergen
