Hey all. Had a nightmare day today, was riding around 135/140kmh on the Autobahn in Germany and out of nowhere the bike made a horrible sound, lost power and I was lucky enough to nurse it to the shoulder where I found that the left hand side top crank Case had a huge hole in it, bits are definitely missing and I have absolutely no idea the cause.
The bike was recovered and taken to a depot so I won't be able to get more photos until tomorrow, but had a scout on this forum to see if anyone else had a similar incident and had no luck.
The bikes a 2015 S10 with around 35k kms on the odo so I wouldn't have expected this level of catastrophic failure at this point in time. It's been well looked after and serviced well within the windows. I'd done about 800km today at the point when this happened.
Not sure what this post is for... Awareness? Venting? I dunno... It's 1am and I'm annoyed and stuck in Germany now instead of on a nice riding holiday
