Sunday i was going down 199 at a decent speed of about 150 m.p.h. and all of a sudden bike starts shaking and shuts off. i hold in the clutch and glide to a stop the people behind me tell me there was a huge cloud of smoke they thought i went down but they couldn't see. i notice oil all over. a little on the oil cooler i figure no big deal we will order the block offs. tow truck shows up tow the bike home start pulling off fairings and chunks begin to fall out of them. (thats not good) look at themotor and part of the connecting rod is there in the front i pull it out and of course its snapped off and whats left is bent up. but the one cap screw is missing and so is part of the cap. i look at the rod threads closer and the threads seem to be fine? how possible is it that the one screw came out? is this a common problem?
