After two months of electrical problems they where solved 2 days ago so I vent yesterday for ride and after 15 min of driving piston died. It happened in 6th gear at 130 kmh (~80mph). Bike had 900 km ( ~560mi) on odo.Bike is smr 510 `08.

that's heartbraking man. really sorry to hear that. hopefully husky will take care of it. it sucks that you are going to be out of a ride for a while and that it's a brand new bike.

Just out of curiosity what were the electrical issues you had??

Looks like detonation.

How's the oil level? Are those pieces of the piston ring in all that crud?

 

[panthocrator]

New oil 2 days ago. Yes pieces of piston.

That F-CKIN sucks!!!! Hope the dealer has it back to you ASAP!!!!

broken piston

keep us informed as to what the call is on the problem. was it low octane gas ?? defective piston ?? did you over-rev and damage the piston, checked your valves lately ?? forensic testing should tell something. :rolleyes2:

Yesterday new bike arrived.
Nothing from forensics.

Is that as in, they gave you a "new" bike, or a "loaner" bike?

Just curious, are you a "break it in like you stole it" kinda guy?

 

[panthocrator]

It is completely new bike, and I did not ride it like I stole it.
From forensics, bike did not have shims on intake valve.

Cool, at least they stepped up and gave you a new bike! :thumbup:

Wow, someone at the factory is going to catch hell for this!
