ive got a bit of a situation and i was hoping someone could guide me through what i should do ......
ive got a 15 1000 xtp that was recently rolled and left running on its side for about 20 minutes and then shut off by its self ( driver was pinned underneath atv and unable to shut off)
towed it home and brought it to my mechanic and he drained the oil there was only a cup of oil that came out of the drain plug the rest was in the air box .... so he drained that as well... there was metal shavings in the oild filter as well . he put new oil and filter and it seemed to start / run ok so i went and picked it up i took it for a ride and it had a hard time starting almost like the pistons didnt want to move . went out for about an hour came home pulled the oil filter and there is more metal shavings . also at high rpm there is a ticking noise and all the power doesnt seem to be there .... had my mechanic come over again and he is saying i need a new motor ... is there anything else i could do before going to that conclusion.. thanks in advance sorry for the long story ...
