Incident: August 2, 2015 · Filed: September 24, 2015

WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS 100 KM/HR OR SO - NOTICED A SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER ON ONE OF THE BUSIEST HIGHWAYS IN CANADA THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING TO HAPPEN.... MANAGED TO SAFELY NAVIGATE TO THE INSIDE SHOULDER/DIVIDER TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM THE FAST EXPRESS LANES WITHOUT GETTING REAR ENDED BY SEVERAL CARS AND TRUCKS TRAVELING AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. UPON GETTING OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO THE SHOULDER I NOTICED A HOLE PUNCHED THROUGH THE TOP OF MY ENGINE CASE...ALSO NOT A GOOD THING TO HAPPEN.... UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS A BEARING BROKE OFF INSIDE THE MOTOR AND CAUSED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND MASS MAYHEM INSIDE THE ENGINE, IT DESTROYED EVERYTHING INTERNALLY. LUCKILY THIS NEVER CAUSED ME TO CRASH OR THE WHEELS/CHAIN LOCK-UP - THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION RESULTING IN LOSS OF LIFE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE DEALERSHIP MAINTAINS THAT THIS WAS MY FAULT AND I SHOULD HAVE HEARD OR FELT THE BEARING INITIALLY FALL/BREAK FREE INSIDE THE MOTOR, WHILE IT WAS CAUSING CARNAGE TO EVERYTHING ELSE (LOUD EXHAUST, HELMET ON, HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, 3 OTHER BIKES RIDING BESIDE/IN FRONT OF ME...) SO YEAH I GUESS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR EVERYTHING AROUND ME WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. BEST PART ABOUT IT, LESS THAN 30 DAYS OUTSIDE OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY PERIOD - GO FIGURES.
