[Dear 450 XCW Motor - I am Sorry to have been so hard on you.]

Sorry your having troubles. Glad it didn't happen at an even more inconvenient time or place! Thanks for posting about this.

Dang! I just looked up the specs on that bike, what a ripper! I couldn't find a compression ratio though. What fuel do you run?

Always hard to tell in photos but it looks like the piston got just hot enough to start sticking to the cylinder wall. Aluminum gets into the top ring groove, cylinder pressure blasts past top ring and the problem snowballs...

Some causes that come to mind...

-As mentioned before detonation (old gas and an already close to lean tune?)

-As mentioned before that piston crown is really clean looking. Close to lean tune?

- Be sure the piston oil squirter is not clogged or receiving low oil pressure.

- Possible hot spot on cylinder? How does the cooling jacket look in that area?

 

[Back in the saddle]

Wow that way fast! Glad your back on two wheels.

[Just bought a plated xr650r]

Yeah, 650r!

-Keep an eye on the right side footpeg mount, the stock bolts are not strong enough. They flex just enough to allow the frame to get rounded, bolt cyclic fatigues and... Snap.  Known issue. Not fun on a big ride.

I had to grind the frame peg mount surface flat and perpendicular. Once the mounting surface was restored true I installed ARP bolts and proceeded to tighten them to OMFG spec. This fix has been holding up for years.

- Also once your valve adjustment interval gets below 800 miles it's time for a valve upgrade. The stock intake valves are soft and sink into the seats. Another known big miles problem. I'm in the middle of addressing this issue... rebuilding the head on mine... Time for a little more compression and cam duration 🔥🌎🐖

[Sequoia National Forest Needs Your Emails]

Thanks for posting this. I sent an email.

I enjoy seeing hikers out on rodregez , I always stop and ask if they need anything. I personally enjoy backpacking trips and it still bugs me that only horses and people are allowed on the PCT. And now they're pushing for a mile wide "this is my forest" zone... Disappointing
