this is the result
this is why dealerships get bad names bike was brought in for a rod bearing before i bought it, they knew previous owner raced it.did the work ,charged kawi. then i bought it got less than 200 hundred not race miles and bang. guess what guys they pulled the race card. another dealership dropped the pan. found a nut no damage to the threads. no stress it backed off. it just backed off dealer said he would not even look at it.even if he made a mistake he wont cover it.but before i brought the to their shop they had already called kawi and told them the bike broke under suspicious reasons. is this a cover my ass or what.

DAMN!!!!!!!! thats some steamin mad shit there. I had a friend who bought a used zx11 back in the day from a local shop. When he test rode it he told them second gear felt weird well they rode it and asured him it was ok and if it did fuck up they would fix it. Shit tore up few days after he bought it took it up there 2 get it repaired and they told him 2 bad so sad.Well i can tell u they lost waaaay more money in sales than if they would of just fixed the shit.

That nut is your 200 mile evidence is where that nut came from? And if that nut is dealer installed and not the previous owner who never touched that, but the dealer did? That is some shoteashitasswork. Not only the crankcase, but I think you have a case = Where is that finger going to point if the dealer rebuilt it.
Factory takes the same parts; builds it once and never blows is parts is parts. Photo and DATE everything! DATE DATE Day will not listen in court is the days are numbered who is who be the blame is time of the wrench in hand was that nut case talking again here?

+3 Who is this dealer? If they won't back up then as a group we should be abandoning any business in their future. Will cost them more $ than a repair with Kawasaki's help would have cost them.

They are all dealerships to avoid around here in MA, no exceptions.
I used to go to a couple of places in NH, but that ended too with some
serious bs they managed to pull with some riding buddies of mine.
Guys, I'm in Boston too.
Feel free to reach me @ sivanovmail@yahoo.com
I don't ride with any other 14 owners- about time to put an end to that!

ZX-14 FSM, Pg. 9-18 ~ "Install new bolts in reused con rod ha-ha-aha!" Now, you tell your lawyer to see the work order on 8 new rod bolts and cap nuts is did they measure after torque setting to see if the new bolt stretched and is out of spec is install another one till it is blueprint book spec not that mechanic's guess what to install is did he read the manual?
I guess that franchise is up in the air if that dealership cannot follow factory procedures is = LoopHOLEESHIT do you have a CASE!

From the looks of those bearing journals there was no oil failure/low oil situation. Simply a bolt (likely never torqued) backed off. Coffee truck must have come by just about the time the mechanic? was about to torque up!! SNAFU

I will say though, before it spit the rod out the side, the engine should have been vibrating/knocking. It must have given some warning!! If the rod bolt broke, then no warning. If the nut backed off there would have been some knocking before the complete failure.

Small claims court..... cheap, and if you are pretty certain you've got a 'case'.... effective.
