Let's see how this pans out (problem with a new motor)

They always say that when you are dealing with a company.....the moment of truth when you have a problem- it's how the company takes care of you that really tells you how the company is run.....

I recently bought a motor from Thats Dax...unfortunately, I think the motor might have been a dud because it stopped running yesterday.

As I was riding at about 1/2 throttle...the motor gradually slowed down and stopped. I tried to start it, but I felt more resistance then usual so it probably has a bad bearing.

At any rate, I am going on vacation in a week with a couple of buddies, we are riding our bikes down to Chesapeake Bay and back. I emailed the guys at Thats Dax about my issue....I'm sure they will take care of it for me, but I am gonna be gutted if he can't get me a new motor here by next Saturday :-(

Update....the kind gentlemen at Thats Dax had me check the torque settings of the head bolts and much to my dismay.....I discovered one bolt was completely loose and when i went to tighten it up.....nada-the bolt hole is stripped.

I'm just wondering how the engine even managed to run for the 10 days that I had it. I'm sure That's Dax will make it right, but wow....what a pain in the butt.

I have no doubt that they will make it right, I'm just hoping he can FedEx me a new motor by this coming Friday.

Me and a couple buddies have an awesome 4 day road trip planned for our bikes.

It was weird, my next door neighbor is a mechanical engineer and he has no idea how that thing even ran with 3 head bolts.

I was babying it because I wanted to break in nice and easy....maybe that's why it lasted as long as it did.
