Here are some pics of Jesal's bike after the motor died at
speed
on the M40 on his way back from the Motorcycle Show.
It is unlikely this motor will ever live again but parts of it will live on in
my other GTR's.
It looks like the big end bearing seized. It's melted the con-rod and part of the big end of the con-rod has melted itself into the belly pan. Once I've got the motor out and apart I'll post some more pics of the damage inside.
Here are some more pics from inside the
motor. The damage is pretty extensive.
The oil pump isn't damaged but I included a pic as most ZG1000 riders will
probably never see it otherwise as it's hidden deep in the motor.
The motor is pretty much totalled.
I have salvaged what I can but the crankcase, crankshaft and many other bits
have gone to that great ZG1000 graveyard in the sky.
Rest In Pieces
