Wow after 5000 miles it finally died on me
I'm on my way to work in the morning, 30 mile drive, with about a half mile left till my exit on the freeway i suddenly see a piece of something fly past my left side, suddenly i bike starts violently vibrating, i figured i hit something in the road and it screwed up my tire, looking in my mirror i see giant plumes of white smoke. I proceed to pull over to the side of the freeway and once i pull in the clutch lever my engine dies on me. getting off my bike i see oil pouring out onto the road, upon closer inspection I noticed a hole in my engine case. I proceeded to push it off the freeway into a parking lot, and got picked up for work. luckily my warranty isn't over till next month, unfortunately I don't know if Yamaha will decide to fix it, and I'm out of luck with work now. has this happened to anyone else or am i just totally unlucky in this matter
yes that is my piston rod stick out of the hole
