I rode in a heavy rain yesterday. My engine(phantom 85 stock), would die when I pulled in the clutch to neutral. Right after noticing that, the rear wheel jammed up. I inspected the chain and the clutch sprocket and it looked fine.
Did the rain cause this? Is riding in the rain a bad idea? How are you guys riding in the rain without issues?
I would like to buy one but I cant find a new one online or FBMarket. Are there any websites who sell these new?
Since you guys were so cool and helpful, instead of being snarky smart asses(like the FB motorized bike groups are), i have a new problem.
But yea, this is my new favorite MB community 😁
Now to the issue. I have a new problem. When I turn the rear wheel, the piston doesnt oscillate. The piston isnt stuck or jammed. It can move just fine but whatever was connecting the chain to the piston isnt engaging. I did remove the cover that houses the chain and clutch arm/lever to put on a new chain. Any idea what could it be? YouTube and Google cant help.
After about 10 mins of riding, the engine starts losing power. To the point that if I put it in neutral, it dies. Any idea what is causing this? It was running fine since I built it a week ago.
EDIT:
Stock everything phantom 85.
