Coasted , then I shut down after hearing the noise, visibly all ok from the outside, belts etc, no oil leaks, no smoke.... but mechanically noisy. slap, slap, slap, slap.
Not the alternator/ flywheel as was suspected, so if the crank, conrod or 'big end' have gone, parts quote is £3000. I'm no mechanic obviously.
These are meant to be replaced every 1000 km when set for full race bike mode....ie rev to 14,000. I run my conservatively tuned to 11,000 changes.
7 trackdays into ownership so probably run more like 2000k on them, still a bit unexpected though!
Oh well, still been worth every penny to date....must now find another 748RS engine? |
OUCH Chris! Mate, I feel your pain.
Hopefully it will be a bit of a surprise and not sting as much as that. Good luck.
