Yes it threw a rod, there is a hole right under the starter and a crack on the front side. I have looked into swapping it with an R6 motor but you have to shave parts of the frame and that's not something I really want to do. I have a friend that rebuilds motors for fun and only charges 250 +...

I have a blown 09 motor with a hole under the starter and a crack on the oppisite side. I need a full motor low miles or cases to get my baby back on the road. Anyone know of any floating around?

That video isn't even of me. I never claimed or said it was. I said I like to ride somewhat like that.

I get 300-350 miles in a tank.

Mental midget in the terms of mechanics.. I'm a firefighter/EMT I run in bike wrecks 4-5 times a month. I knows chances and I defiantly know the consequences (I have been in life flight breathing for a victim of a bike accident on the way to the trauma center. Grow a pair on your wheels don't...

The ticking noise is a tether for the camera invade it falls off.

I do like to ride some what like this though so that might explain it. But I have always heard people ride hard and they ask for more.. http://youtu.be/fMgaZJpl6zY

This is about how big the hole is. The hole is right under the starter. Found it when I dropped the motor.

What made me the maddest was if I saw 155 on the speedo I was going to back off.. Then this.

I'm not positive what caused it. The bike wasn't high miles but I was doin 154 when it blew. I have heard of people being way harder on their FZ's and they just ask for more. High rpm's is a good possibility. I'm not planning on swapping the wiring harness or the throttle bodies as of yet if...

I used to live about 30 minutes from Daytona for about 11 years. Sorry to say guys but the winter is when you see more gators out, they sun bathe for the heat. You don't see and there because that's either salt or brackish water (a mix between salt and fresh water heavier on the salt) out by...

Thanks! I have seen his YouTube videos before but never his posts on here. Helped a ton!

Pictures didn't all load for some reason.

Hey guys, I have an 09 FZ6 that threw a rod putting a whole in the case right under the starter on the back side and a crack on the front side. I'm having a really hard time finding an FZ6 motor with in a decent radius of where I live (around Tulsa, Oklahoma). Micro-sprint cars are pretty...

Not at all. I'm a firefighter so risk benefit analysts is part of my daily life on and off the bike. I like to think I'm smart in my stupidity. :p

why would you be burying me?

Sorry I was on vacation for 2 weeks and to keep from getting more upset about the situation. But to bring everyone up to speed I was at 150-154 for about 5 miles and was just trying to get it to roll to 155 and I was going to back off! It probably was preventable but I'm about the least...

It probably was something preventable I'm somewhat new to motorcycles especially mechanically. I keep the chain clean and lubed and keep the oil changed every few thousand miles. Was about to have her services, because I did just put about 8,500 miles on her in 2 months. :P

I have an uncle with a very large farm and a straight flat asphalt 6 mile long section road right down the middle

It was a private road.
