Bugger neighbour (nearly)...it's unusual to have two such major failures.

Do you run them with no oil or something? What are the ods of two 12 engines detonating?

It's very unusual and more so that it was the same thing both times #3 Conrod It gets serviced regularly and this motor has only been in the bike for 3000 km atleast the last motor was a fuck up bouncing off the limiter in the air but this time about 9500rpm in top gear then boom!! From the look of the clamp it might of spun a bearing and run dry either way I'm in the market for a new motor and if anyone needs parts off an 03 or 05 motor let me know
