Defective Apex!

[Ultralord]

well the motor is apart and to the best of Dustins ability he can find nothing wrong with the set up he thinks that the conecting rod bolt was defective 500 miles on 10-14 lb of boost blew the rod out of the case with the bearing still in tact. No detonation no oil issues it looked pefect exept for the hole in the case the bent valves and busted rod and crank$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I will pick it up on tuesday and will post pics of the parts next weak for all to survey I guess I am the lucky one

Sorry to hear that my friend. Glad to hear they are gettin' you back on the snow in a hurry.

It has been 5 weeks of the best snow in 25 years in washington The wifes 600 rmk dont cut it. I bought a old king cat to help with the fix. But once you go boost its hard to go back

I remember back in 03, hearing about a rod bolt, coming loose on an RX. Just your luck, eh! So, is it under warranty?

I wish for some reason yamaha won't warranty when you double the horse power

i know how you feel man i dont have a spare 2weeks down now but snow has sucked so not as bad.mine was the stupid drain bolt under the filter so small but very important i got real lucky very minimal damage just spun the rod bearing so rod & crank are fixable but wont get them back till spring.
