1999 Kawasaki Mojave - Lost Comppression

[panthers06232]

it is a 1999 kawasaki mojave i was climbing hills got up on top of one of them and let out of the gas. Then it made a really different sound like a growl/grinding noise and died. Now feels like it has lost compression and will not start. I know this quad has 4 valves and 2 cams cold it somthing inside of there or what else could have happened i know a top end sieze will not make a grinding sound.

try pulling the plug and look into the cylinder, if you have a telescopic magnet to slip in, maybe there are pieces of rings in there ...

i had a mojave before and i had the same problem after i got into the motor and got it apart the cams had been sheered off alomost completly flat all the way around not saying that thats your problem but at the same time that that happened it broke the chain off the cams and made a bad grindin sound and then qiut also my there were chunks of ring in the cylnder it could have just been my bad luck with it that all that happened at the same time lol but those engines aint cheap to rebuild
