I was riding on I-75 on the way home from class to get my truck to go pickup my son from school...when.. I decided to drop it down to third..roll into it...hit 4th...hit 5th.. POOOFFF...Vibrations... And complete loss of power... looked in rear view and yep a big white cloud of smoke... only 2202 miles.. and I have an unsightly hole in the front of my case beneath the headers... looks like a rod decided to be the weakest link... luckily I was almost at the off ramp and had enough speed to reach the top of the hill and then I rolled it into the gas station...right off the interstate...luckily I live two blocks from there so I went and got my truck and trailer and retrieved the bike... and have just completed it's return to the factory setup... going to take it to the shop tomorrow to have it repaired... any advice on how to assure they don't "get me" at the dealership?... I have dealt with them before... purchased three bikes from them and haven't ever had this happen(warranty repair)... I don't understand how it slung a rod but it did and I just hope I dont get any grief about fixing it...
This really sucks though... First I got a new set of tires because the factory set caught a nail... then the replacement one caught a nail... then someone stole my helmet... now a broken rod...
Life is grand... and then you die...
JK...:lol:
