I had just left work this morning at about 230 am and just barely got on the freeway. Shifted from 2nd to third, then to forth, when I shifted to fifth I noticed there was no acceleration..:wtf:.. I then noticed my clutch was not ingaging. then my bike shut off and when i pulled off to the shoulder the puddle of oil starting to spread.. I guess I'll know more tomorrow atfer I take it to the shop. I have a feeling I'm going to be dropping another engine and tranny in her.

Hmm, sounds like there was a serious mechanical failure in the engine. Did you change the oil regularly?

every 4000 miles. And what is even more strange is the fact that the bike rarely saw 8000 rpm. I ran it at about 6000 to 6300 all the time.(freeway) Very upsetting.

Hmm, guess it was just a massive mechancal failure. Bike isn't under warranty is it?

 

[gsxr600ls1]

34K???? Holy shit

 

[guiltyxxspark]

This might be the first time I have no idea what went wrong. Seems like you were easy on that bike.

34K???? Holy shit

A guy on here his name is BMF has over 80k on his k6 1000.

My bike just rolled over 56k. Same bike, 2006 GSXR 1000. The best bike ever made.l :bowdown:

It sounds like there was some sort of defective part in there that gave way. I'd be interested in knowing what happened.

BTW I rolled over 62,000 miles last month on my 05 750. Still runs like new.

 

[pinkfloydscorpio]

05 and 06 gsxrs run solid dude.

We looked it over at the shop and determined that the chain had somehow jumped the rear sprocket (it wasn't on it) and even though it did not break it had puched a hole in the engine casing. I'm getting another engine for her. And that in itself is kinda funny as it was a new chain and was just adjusted about 8 or 900 miles ago. LOL, the money I was going to use to fix my '67 Fury is now going in the bike...Oh the irony. Oh well, I love my bike and she'll be on the road again soon.

That sucks. But when a chain DOES break, they do have a nasty tendency to go through the transmission housing.

 

[rollin]

well I know it sucks but at least you can be thankful it didnt some how get caught in such a way that could of jammed up the tire or somethin. Could have been you that ended up breaking.

I got the bike back today!:thumbup: The engine we found only has 7500 miles on it. AND I got the swingarm assembly as well!! I am one happy man!:clap:
