[QUOTE="jjm7384, post: 502908, member: 34986"] I was riding at the local motocross track and came off a jump when all of a sudden it sounded like a marble was inside my engine. I immediately shut the bike off and pushed it off the track. When I took apart the engine, I found that the Kips arm (small metal plate with pin attached inside the engine cover) had broke and took out my clutch basket and spur gears. Needless to say the $8 part caused almost $400 worth of damage, but I'm curious what would have caused this. Could the valve maybe lock up? I moved the actuator shaft that controls the valve and it moved freely in and out with no problems. It appears that the Kips arm just failed...Is there anything else I should check before I put it back together and ride? This part of the engine was never taken apart before. I need a reliable trail bike (luckily it happened on the track)...Has this happened to anyone else?
