i have had all the services i ment to have............................................................they could see all the scraches up it from when that car got in my way (stupid b!tch slaming on her breaks at the traffic lights)

If you're looking for sympathy on this site for driving like an idiot, abusing the hell out of your machine and breaking pretty much every law under the traffic act - good luck!

I think the fact your bike is broken and you're not is pure coincidence - I hope you don't manage to get it fixed - for your sake.

ok what even if you are goin to just put crap on me go away

i dont think it is as thrashed as i thought i think its just been shaken loose and a piston ring has broken because a bolt for the engine cover has fallen out

If it's a bolt that came loose causing engine failure, it should be covered under warranty.

i dont no if it was that but it did come out so i think if it can fall out all the rest of it can get loose

Really man, all the more reason why you need to take it to a professional to be rebuilt. They will notice things that you might not.

Leave it parked in a mall parking lot overnight, come back in morning bike is gone, claim it on insurance buy new bike. There you go your bike is fixed all within 3 weeks

That is such an excellent idea. You should really consider doing that. Allows you to get another bike and not deal with all that rebuilt engine cost and bs.

You can generally find a complete running engine/xmission assembly from a parted-out (wrecked) bike on Ebay, for a couple hundred dollars plus shipping down under. Might have to search for a couple weeks but you'll find one.

That's what I'd probably do......and I'm definately capable of doing a rebuild myself.
