    Busted Engine

    Guess what? I just got a private message from another guy in Israel who had the same experience last night. Was just driving around when suddenly *crack*, smoke everywhere and a hole in the engine block... I still don't know the exact details regarding number of kilometers ridden on the bike...

    The other shrapnel are parts of the crankcase that were presumably smashed by the con rod Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

    20161102_115639 Here you go, some engine porn for all: https://www.flickr.com/gp/96794667@N08/11oP60 That's as far as I can go, seeing that I have no more insight or understanding other than what I've already posted. Now that all the evidence has been spread out, I'd really appreciate a...

    Busted Engine

    Update time. To keep a long story short... after much back and forth and phone calls, the local Yamaha dealer said that that there is no way they'll take responsibility for my engine due to the exhaust and fuelling changes that I've done. At first they offered was to open up the engine and...

    Unfortunately no. Last week I got a call from the mechanic a couple of days after giving in the bike. My first question was "Should I be sitting down for the news?" :D He told me that he got authorisation from Yamaha Israel to open up my engine. At first I was surprised that he needed...

    Actually I think it's easiest to just contact one of the Ebay seller. They're sure to know the shipping parameters.

    Busted Engine

    I was taking my bike out for a spin, a couple of days ago, when suddenly there was a strange grinding :eek: sound and the engine cut off. Immediately I pulled over with the bike is steaming up from burned oil, which leaked over the hot exhaust pipes. I had no idea what went wrong, and where...

    Hi Newbie question

    Run a search for "high speed wobble", its not uncommon on the MT09. But it only refers to high speeds, not 70mph... Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
