weird moment today srx hasnt been used for a couple of weeks...had a recent rebore..took it for a ride today with no problems...got covered in road grit so washed it then went to start it again started then stopped. went to kickstart it again but kickstart wouldnt move at all. took spark plug out and still wouldnt turn over....had to turn it over with socket on crank and then it felt tight for about quarter of a turn..then turned easier kept turning it by sockey yill it freed up....then kicked over ok after thet and started. Have been running it in carefully.any ideas anyone

Hot piston, cold cylinder. Never wash a hot bike.

yeah thought maybe that but didnt wash it straight away had been standing for at least an 3/4 of an hour....seemed ok afterwards though

H'mmn, not that then. Still sounds like a partial seizure, but why?
