I have experienced a problem with my 05 TC450 this past weekend and thought maybe someone could help steer me in the right direction. After starting the bike and warm up (engine sounds normal,) the bike stalled and wont restart. I first thought this might be a battery issue, so I bump started it. The bike ran very poorly with a lot of blue smoke and very hard to keep running. Needless to say, I packed up and hauled home. After the bike cooled off and I was home, it started up again just fine and sounded normal, but after a few minutes - it stalled again and wouldn't restart.
I think maybe I have an issue with one of the exhaust valves. Maybe after warm up, the expansion of the metal is just enough to cause one of the valves to quit moving properly. I checked the fuel - found no problems here. Does anyone out there have any ideas before I tear apart the top end?
I have never had any problems with the bike before now, and there was no warning of an issue that maybe had developed over time, so I am kinda surprised to have this problem spring on me... especially so close to getting some nice weather again! I check the valve clearances regularly along with the normal oil changes ect...
Thanks in advance!
