I've owned a 2001 Busa for the past 6 years. It has been very reliable. One day however I went to start it and it made a popping noise. I then waited 1 min and then once I tried again it would not crank, like if there was no battery juice but it did. The headlight and dash lights, fuel pump kicked in fine. I then attempted jumping starting and it made a loud gearing noise. I then attempted to push start and it would not start. I called the shop who tow it there and they called me a few days later saying that they got bad news. The clutch starter failed and it damaged the upper crank case and there's metal flakes all over and now I need to either rebuild or replace the engine. I've never heard anything like that before, not even in this forum. I was wondering what do you guys think. Is it possible?
If I need to replace the engine "with a used one" it will cost me close to $3k. On the other hand if I sell it like it is I may not even get $3k on it.
