Hi All.
To day i have started my commando again after few days.
The bike started, not easily, only with the right cylinder; the left didnt start and had no smoke that come out from the pipe.
You could listen a great noise from the engine like an hammer against the steel.
I had understood that the left exhaust valve remained closed.
Opened the cover i have seen that the rocker ball end of the exhaust rocker had lost the pushrod!.
I have removed the rocker and i have seen that the pushrod upper cup was in good order, well in place in his lifter, and that it went up and down when i turned the rear wheel with fourth shift engaged.
The question is: what happened?
Can it happens again?
Thank you.
Piero
