Well I was afraid it was coming, I had been noticing for awhile now when I would rev up the motor past 5k when letting off I would see a light puff of black smoke followed by a light puff of blue smoke.
I was out this past Sunday playing a little with a couple CBR1000's, every time we would take off we were close, but I will always let up when approaching traffic I just can't bring myself to weave cars over MPH. Well we came to an open stretch of interstate with no cars for a good long distance, I pinned the throttle wide open I was paying attention to my surroundings preparing to shift lanes as I was changing lanes I felt something didn't feel like anything I had felt before, but a very minor drop in power I just figured my bottle was empty. Then I thought to myself I have been in Th for a very long time I shifted and glanced in the mirror, I was being chased by a huge blue smoke cloud. What I can figure is I hit the limiter while spraying nitrous, however, I never felt the limiter kick in either way the engine now has to come out and apart. I am thinking rings, head gasket or a hole in the piston.
It will be a long repair process since I just bought a house, but I am thinking since it has to come apart anyway go bigger when building it back, and get a switch to cut the NOS off before the limiter! (even if it is just a 30 shot)
Anyways I have compiled a few pictures that are on my work computer of her life and a few of the things we have done together. I bought her new in February of 2007, the first year I put over 15,000 miles on her. I have made 1 trip to The Rolling Thunder Rally in Washington DC, at least 2 trips per year to Panama City Beach, Florida since she was new and countless trips to The Dragon. Tons of Charity rides and a lot of trips Dad and I would just take off and ride where ever. She is showing nearly 63,000 miles, she will me greatly missed.
Rest in Peace (for now) old friend, You shall return strong and better!!
