Uhm.............If you have a bent rod, it's only a matter of time before you completely lose compression and break the rod and get stuck out in the middle of your mudholes..........I would not recommend riding it. If you do ride it, it's only gonna screw up your crankshaft that might still be salvageable, as well as your head, which also might still be salvageable. All you're gonna do, if you ride it, is hurt your wallet even more. Best of luck to you if you do take it out though......

The fact is, you CAN hurt it more than it already is. As stated before, there may be some salvageable parts in there. If money's no object, then go for it and have fun with it. I'm not that blessed though..........So if it were my bike, I'd park it, and tear the motor down to see what the damage is.

A complete motor rebuild usually means new bearings everywhere and some machine work, that doesn't necassarily mean you will need new hard parts. Like the crank, head, cylinder etc... I would not ride it if it has a bent rod, the piston will likely start wearing that cylinder into an oval shape and it will start to lose all compression, oil will be badly contaminated and you could possibly just sieze it all up.

Just me man I wouldn't ride it if the motor is that bad
