default Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So I went for a ride and on the way home and at some point, I came to a stop and the bike was smoking. Pulled over, saw oil pouring out. YAY. Since I was close to the dealer, I figured Id go get this checked out really quick. Well, turns out some how the oil pan was hit and cracked. FML. 5 days, 180 miles, and now this.

Dealer is a decent guy, so hes going to see what he can do for it. But as it sits, its looking like ill be out the money for the pan and possibly an exhaust since it nuked that too.

Guest eatpasta Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 well maybe he will pick up the pan and only charge you for labor or something. That's a huge bummer man - sorry to hear it. At least you noticed before the oil got low and you didnt toast the motor. I know a guy that bought a Wrangler and the first day he had it, same thing happened and he didnt notice until after he toasted the motor.... Take pics and post em up when you get a sec. Im wondering if its a kind of Achilles Heel part of the engine case that some kind of guard can be made to protect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruizin Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Didn't you hear the sound of something hitting your oil pan and exhaust? I would imagine that it was pretty loud.

yamadog67 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Sorry for your troubles with the cracked case. I hope it ends well. Thanks for bring it to our attention and the FZ-09 link also. I dented the bottom the front exhaust pipe on my Venture the first week I had it. It's still dented. I've always thought that all bikes should be capable of going fast down a dirt road.
