Sick to my stomach...

[s3ns4i]

Well guys, i dont know how it happened but it did.. i bought my busa ( 2014) brand new with 0 miles in july of 2017. I just rolled 20k 2 days ago. Yesterday i did a pull with a buddy and white smoke everywhere. No noise, no ticking, just boom.. my buddies say i need a new motor just from looking at the front.. i have it at the shop waiting for them to break it down... i dont understand what happen and happy i didnt lay the bike down as oil was all over the place at 80mph.. i change the oil every 3k mikes and use full synthetic from Suzuki and take perfect care of it... really sick to my stomach..

Ive attached some of the pictures..

This happened right after i filled up with pump 89 from mobil..

Still in shock

THAT friggin' sucks....

[s3ns4i]

Add insult to injury warranty went out last july and had no clue i could purchase an extended.. fml

[mabupa]

Oh no!! Curious to see what the teardown reveals. Sorry to see this man!

Thanks bro... im seriously still in shock.. im like my one friend has 67k on his.. no issue.. second havent done an oil change on his since 1980.. fine. Me.. take pristine care and boom at 20k

Sorry to see that. That's properly gutting. If the bike has a service history, perhaps Suzuki will show some goodwill.

[atlbusa]

That does suck, when that has happened to me I say good now a reason to build!.

I have read many thoughts on the extra stroke on the busa. Kind of like the old days of the 327 SBC vs the 350 SBC. Many people believe the shorter stroke is better. Just makes me go hmmmm

[HayaWakened]

My sympathies. Also curious what went wrong. If convenient, can you follow up here and let us know?

I guess even hayabusas have a lemon or Two, maybe? I know scar on Facebook has 230k
Miles or so on his.

Just like the Cummins in the Ram trucks as well. People swear the 5.9 is better than the 6.7 and for a reason. Some stories out there about blown head gaskets due to the thinner cylinder walls and less surface contact, according to some owners.

[Mr Brown]

It may be a lemon, may be a freak circumstance, may be operator error, may be one or a combination of things. Regardless, it still sucks. Parts fail, mistakes are made, sh!t happens. Keep us posted, we'll help as much as we can.

[Johnnie Phatt]

White smoke usually beans broken head gasket. But does not explain the oil. Possibly so much antifreeze got into a cylinder it bent a rod
Just spit balling. Sorry about your luck
Talk nice to the dealer and Suzi and maybe they will be kind

[Kiwi Rider]

By the looks of that and the position it's in, I would have to say it's a con rod let go and broken the crankcase.
We had another member post up pics recently of almost the exact same damage, same place in the oil gallery, a broken con rod.
Bad luck, hope it works out for you with the warranty at the Dealer, you never know, they may show mercy seeing as it's been looked after service-wise.

I’ll start by saying this. You filled it with 89. Gen 2s require premium fuel 91+. If you got a bad tank of fuel chances are it detonated and hammered the rod bearing out of it. Pretty rare on stock motor NA bikes, but I’ve seen it happen from time to time specially on bikes that just have a downloaded map for an aftermarket exhaust.

[08BusaKY]

Sorry...that would hurt! It may be worth a try to talk to Suzuki but not tell them you used 89 octane.

[Bumblebee]

There had to be a flaw in the metal from the factory for this to happen, people have been flogging the crap out of Hayabusas ever since they existed and we don't hear of many stock ones going bang very often. The lower octane could have been a partial cause but don't know...

With the warranty being up for a year (?) I'd say Suzuki will do nothing other than charge you money for fixing it.

I used 89 because thats what the brocks map is and brocks told me to use.
