Hello!
Before I begin, I would like to apologize for my poor English, and please don't be too harsh about my technical skills, as I'm pretty new to all this stuff
I've wanted a bike for a long time and now I can get a good deal on a used Yamaha Neos from a friend for only 100€. The bike is in a good condition, but has one weird engine problem. There is weird clunking noise and a considerable loss of torque and speed. We took a look at it and discovered that the crankshaft is loose. We suspect dead bearings.
Could this be the source of this problem? How hard would it be to repair this? I know a new set of bearings is about 20-25€. And I know the proper installation method (heat the bearing socket, freeze the bearing, then push crankshaft into place)
I really don't have any experience with repairing engines, I repair electronics for a living
Cheers!
