Hi there. Had my original 929rr stolen from my underground parking lot last summer. After all the insurance stuff was settled I was lucky to find a fellow selling the exact same bike year model (exact) with 30 k less km than my previous bikefor a good price. I bought the horse and it ran fine. Now to my questions(s), At 8,000 km the oil light came on and the bike ran worse than a donkey in molasses. no power etc. I took it to my local shop( great bunch of guys) but unfortunately the owner was away, (he is the brains behind the magic) The other mechanic couldn't figure it out and put me on hold for days etc. When the owner returned a few days later he deduced that it was the exhaust valve which had gone belly up.( stock system) With suchlow mileageon the bike how could that be possible. Also I am wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. Could any engine damage result from running the bike for a day or two with the exhaust valve broken as aforementioned? Just looking for some insight here. Incidentally i am new to this site and am looking forward to some good banter. Cheers.[:-]
