When the rod met the gearshaft..........

[RC30]

This is not my engine, it's of a friend of mine.

I haven't words.............?

[Beyond The Pale]

Ouch!

[Leget]

A little JB weld and some duct tape and he's as good as new.

You know I'm joking......

Seriously, send him my condolences.?

[SteveDubo]

[Kyron]

? :cry: ? :cry: Im feelin for ya, paint doesnt even look worn on the frame and did it have a e-start on it?

[martinfan30]

an xr650r air cooled conversion?

[koldsimer]

Ouch. I knew they wouldn't get along but... Let us know more details on what happened when you can.

[beezerjoe]

Just ugly, utter carnage.

[BWB63]

The rest of the story would be cool, now that we have gotten over the shock. Looks like real low miles/hours, has all the little dress up of someone that was really into his bike, chasing a street bike in the twisties? Just breaking the bike in? Holding high RPM on a new bike? What oil was he running, was it motard, hard, off and on again, street?

[RC30]

Another "bad" pics......................

P.S. Later I will describe you what is happened to the engine.

[orsoxr]

:crazy: very very -disastro- ? :cry: ?

[martinfan30]

that is an impressive failure! holy ****!

[Denn10]

I didnt know they made 2-piece XRR motors??!!! Thats trick

[daddyk]

Hey I thought these PIGs were supposed to be reliable. I wouldn't have thought that was even possible to do to an engine. He should get some kind of medal or something.

Nice pics, So why don't you just provide a quick brief as to what happened? If it's a long story and you don't have the time to write out all the details, a brief statement would be sufficient. ie. extended high revs or oil pump went out or tried some after market part. Something like that would work.

Just my 2 cents.

Might actually prevent someone else from having the same issue.

Oh noes!

I love how "Made in Japan" is proudly stamped on the smashed rod.
