Sick enough to die.....
Took the bike out for a group ride on Saturday evening at about 9pm.....rode around for a bit...nothing hard, just some 6th gear 4 grand riding.....
stopped and ate, then rode some more.... at about 1am, we were riding down a secluded road and did a couple of short rolling drags...45mph to about 150mph.... dropping to second as I nailed it and shifting up through a few gears.....
after the 3rd time,I got out the gas and heard a knocking noise.... 0_o
I shut the bike off and almost threw up.....
still haven't opened the motor up to see if I am lucky enough to have spit a valve shim or if I got metal in the oil pan..... ugh....I am sooooo depressed right now..... it's like my favorite dog of 15 years died.....
and to top it off, it'll be forever before I can affford to get the damn thing going again.....
:/

pull the pan. bet you find something shiny in it. never really heard of anyone kicking a shim without the use of nos. ive been there and done that. when i bought my bike it was blew. check ebay. i scored a crank and matching rods for around $600. probally looking at a grand if you can do the work yourself.

man, I forgot all about it, and [problem is I am not sure if its a 07 and 07 , or 08 up.
the clutch basket has to match the crank primary gear.
I could do $700, and give you $200 back for your core. It cost me 580 just for the crank work.
Its a nice crank, -2 lbs 7 oz lighter than stock, but I think Im going stroker on my next engine.
