there were several issuses once they got it open. not sure which one caused which and hard to determine. new crank, rod, bearings and oil pump(just in case) as well as other assorted gaskets/bolts etc....

 

Same thing happened recently to my friend's ZX-14. It had about 3,500 miles on it. Turned out the clutch came apart and pieces got circulated in the engine.

 

I bet your glad to have such a sweet bike back home!!! Now you have to thru a whole new break in period.......I hope they got it right for you!!!

 

i dont need no stinkin breakin period!

 

glad you got the bike back but wow. Did you ask the dealer if this has been happening with alot of 08 1k's? I would have never thought a bearing would have been shot in a honda!

 

spend the extra time on beer and hookers

 

Awesome bro! I hope my 08 stays together but if something happens, I hope that it runs correctly afterwards. I have heard bad things once an engine has to be cracked open.

Good Luck!!!

 

I wouldn't be suprised if your engine is sitting until an electron microscope right now with honda trying to figure out where they lost their quality control. Something similar happend to a friend of mine. He had a brand new civic with about 2000 miles on it and it threw a rod. They hooked him up bigtime with a new engine.

Honda doesn't mess around with stuff like this. Glad you got everything back in running order

Ride safe!
