I suppose it had to happen with a 2 stroke, but its been a long time coming. Happened on the highway going 70mph. Luckily I heard the beginnings of the seize, so grabbed the clutch before it went solid. Was very pissed, as its a newly rebuilt and run in engine. Luckily no damage was done. Just to my confidence in the bike I suppose

you seized it but no damage done????

confused

I believe the poster meant that no damage was done to him or to others or others' property.

Obviously the bike is damaged

Sounds like you need to take it apart again, someone didnt do something right

Not necessarily. Back in the days when 2-stroke street bikes were common, it wasn't unusual to seize one up if you pushed it too hard. The usual fix was to pull over, let everything cool down, then continue on your way.

If you seize up a 4-stroke, then you've got real problems.

look into your jetting if you were running a bit lean then it could get tight on you. I have seized 2 strokes before and then let them cool down and went on my way

what does "seize" mean?

I assume it's not the same as in "seize him!"

If memory serves the man has a Jawa/CZ...

They are awesome in a very weird kind of way.

It's when the piston stops moving in the cyclinder. Usually due to extreme heat or lack of oil. Or both.

Go a little richer on the mainjet.

I agree with the others in that chances are it will be alright after it's cooled down. Just took a few thou of the life of it, is all....
