I have a 09 675 that just spun a bearing and stuffed the crankshaft and conrod on the weekend (@ 4400km) It spun it on the centre piston. Havent had the top end off yet and i'm not sure if there is any damage there. I might be lucky. Will post pics.
I had low oil but still showing on the dipstick and measured at 3.2L when i drained it. It was Castrol GPS full synth. Maybe there was a bad batch of bearings or cranks from the factory as there is another chap here who had a engine failure on his 09?
Triumph arent coming to the party with the warranty as it was bought as a insurance damaged bike @ 2000km (light fairing damage), even though they have replaced a crank position sensor once under warranty. Their reckoning is that the damage occured when the bike was on its side (i have ridden 2400 trouble free km on it by now). I queried about the tip sensor cutting off the motor when dropped and they said that they can still run for a while enabling a bearing to "pick up"? Well i dont know about all this. Does every race bike need to be pulled down with bottom end bearing shells replaced when they fall off?
Anyhow, does anyone know if all 675 model cranks and rods are compatible (pre 09-speed triple). Crank and rod here is around $3000 from Triumph so i am hunting them on ebay/wreckers just want to make sure they will fit.
Thanks in advance
