M1000 track bike

You could fit a couple of wasps in the gaps there nae boller Rob!

Looks like a bit of oil starvation??

To break up like that I'm going to suggest the V rod bearing has a fatigue failure due to engine speed - note that the inertia forces increase with the square of the increase in engine speed, so double the engine speed means the inertia forces are four times higher.
Once the V bearing has gone then oil pressure is lost to the crankpin and the H bearing is starved of oil.

The money that's going to cost to sort you could have bought my 1000ds Mulitstrada and used its v low mileage motor then sold off the rest of the bike.
It had done less than 10k but a old style Multi has no real value so was sold for less the the motor was prob worth on its own.

Thank you - but someone asked what caused the failure.

It's guys like me who spent their working life on engine and gearbox design that allows guys like you to ride bikes (assuming you do ride)

I've never thought engineering design to be a NERD job?

Multi engine is not a direct swap Scrapps, swing arm mounting is different

That's a shame as u can pick up early ones for silly money. I traded mine in with less than 10k on the clock(less than 1k per year)

Move the crate with the frying pan that stores the puncture kit and you could fit at least one more bike in there.

That's just GREEDY!!!!

Envying and admiring your mechanical prowess though.

You're not really trying hard enough, there's room for at least 3 more in there...

Erm I have 6 in mine and work space. Its hard to get there but when you do it works. Its a case of getting things in some order.

Just try squeezing 2 trikes and 3 bikes in a single garage for a giggle

That really is a 3D jigsaw puzzle
