By the way there is a series of videos on YouTube of a guy that hunts for bikes the owners claim are frozen up. He gets them very cheap and even free for hauling them off. The videos are about each bike and the process of getting the motor unfrozen. Says its very common for a bike with an open air cleaner to suck in water or otherwise get rain water in the engine and just a little moisture can rust the cylinder walls sticking the pistons. He demonstrates several methods of unsticking the pistons and then he has perfectly good bikes that he keeps or resells. He gets a lot of high performance bikes because they are highly modified with open/exposed air cleaners and they are the worst for sucking in the water.
