Title: Cracked Engine Case. Post by: SKOM on May 08, 2008, 07:24:18 AM S2R 800.
My bike has since been fixed but I want to post up the experience. I had read a thread on the old board regarding cracked engine cases. It made me go outside to check mine and sure enough - a significant crack in the engine case right at the rear right mounting bolt. Most folks I have talked to believe it is due to improper torquing of the mounting bolt - knowing my local shop that sounds about right. I ended up getting it fixed over the winter under warranty - 5000 bucks worth of work for the new cases. :o So just a heads up - Check your cases - especially at the mounts. Cheers dr:: |
