    Well the other day on my way to work my bike decided to blow up.. literally.. thank god I have a 4 year extended warranty.I took the bike into the dealership today and this is what I was told. They said the clutch basket is held together with rivets and they had worn down until they came completely apart. Thus having the clutch explode inside the case. Looks like everything is gonna be covered under warranty due to catastrophic failure. But looks like I'll be out of a bike for a few months. But will get a brand new engine out of the deal.

    Good God that sucks. Well, at least you have the warranty. I'd hate to see the bill without it.

    That's maybe the 2nd or 3rd one I've seen like that. Engine swap should only take a couple of days at most at a shop, not months. They have crate motors still sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Or maybe it was a dumpster.
