JustBlew the motor on my ninja
Well yesterday it was like 60 and sunny here so I thought I'd go for a mid winter ride. After warming up the bike and riding around lightly for 30 minutes the motor blew in the middle of a mild acceleration at only 6000rpms(red line is 13500) it died smoke everywhere, huge amounts right out the exhaust and oil sprayed everywhere. While I have yet to take it apart to find out exactly what happened, I do not think I will continue to invest in this bike, never thought the 2008 season would end in January ha.
It was a 98 ZX-7R had fresh oil just been serviced, carbs sync'd, sparks the works. I warmed it up right, slowly worked back into it and wasn't even ridin it hard when it went. I bought the bike several months ago and put about 1200 miles on it since then and I am thinking it has more or all to do with the care given to it before it came into my life.
I haven't decided what exactly to do with it but as much as it hurts I think I may have to just part it out.sd6515 Reviewed by sd6515 on .

Is this common for those types of really fast bikes? I am no biker, or have any knowledge on them, but if you do everything right and it blows like that, it seems a bit impractical.

My heart goes out to you man, I am real sorry for your bad luck with your bike.
My 79 Honda CBX uses the alternator from a 98 ZX7R.
