I think I just hit a first....First Bueller to crack his 1125 case...          | ||
| Syonyk |
Please tell me this is related to the scuff marks on the clutch cover and going down hard... | ||
| Kevinjgray88 |
ya did you lay it down and if so how fast. | ||
| Westmoorenerd |
Oh no...this happened just rolling around and jumping up to about 9-10k.... Surprised the shit out of me, almost ended up going down due to oil on the tire. | ||
| Westmoorenerd |
the scuff on the clutch cover was from a wet driveway... | ||
| Syonyk |
Wait, wait: I know the appropriate response here. "You are a liar and a troll, trying to ruin the good name of the Almighty Buell." Clearly, you faked those pictures and joined this forum just to troll us with those photoshopped pictures, as no Buell 1125R could EVER crack a case like that. | ||
| Kevinjgray88 |
hope you got your warrenty | ||
| Illbuell |
Ever seen your tach hand light up when you got the clutch pulled in or in neutral around 5K RPM? Just curious....LOL | ||
| Moosestang |
Looks like something let go inside the motor. Does it make any knocking, grinding, clunking or banging noises. | ||
| Westmoorenerd |
Never noticed a tach or anything but it definitely doesn't start right now. | ||
| Westmoorenerd |
Easy fix huh. You think I could fix it with JB Weld | ||
| Illbuell |
Warranty????? | ||

the scuff on the clutch cover was from a wet driveway... I thought it was from a 20mph low side? Maybe your driveway is longer than mine. | ||
| Froggy |
I wonder if there is a link between your previous accident and this. | ||
| Syonyk |
How would a 20mph lowside cause catastrophic engine damage? For the case to crack like that, I'd guess something let go internally, especially if it no longer starts. | ||
| Hdwrenchtx |
i doubt warranty will cover it if it shows sign of previous damage | ||
| Moosestang |
How would a 20mph lowside cause catastrophic engine damage? For the case to crack like that, I'd guess something let go internally, especially if it no longer starts. Exactly, it should still start. This wouldn't be the first motor to let go. | ||

What Froggy said. | ||
| Americanmadexb |
That will buff out! | ||
| Illbuell |
I would replace that scratched up cap before taking it to the dealer fo sho... | ||
| Moosestang |
I wonder how long it will take to get a new motor. | ||
| Keef |
actually that is a side cover cracked not the block itself at least in those pics, the clutch and balancer is under those covers,i would guess something got in the gears maybe a cam chain tensioner part?? | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
yay definetly replace it and dont tell the dealer till you get the puck, 160$ is a helluva lot better than 7500$$ !!! Jake | ||
| Blackflash |
cam chain tensioner.That is the exact location for the front jug tensioner,drive gears and water pump balancing gears.I had mine apart . | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
West, did you ever get the cam chain tensioner recall done?? Jake | ||
| Tbowdre |
if HD F#@Ks you over for the warranty claim.... GET THE 1190 motor!!!!! seems like a nice replacement option! maybe plead for a discount  seriously tho... that sucks | ||
| Americanmadexb |
GET THE 1190 motor!!!!! Why? Unless your racing it. It wouldn't even be streetable.. | ||
| Tbowdre |
why? WHY NOT... does anyone need 146crank HP? 100 horsepower why? you ask why.... really? | ||
| Syonyk |
Doesn't the 1190 run 14:1 compression & require race gas? That would be a good "why" for me... | ||
| Americanmadexb |
First you say get the 1190, then you say why would anyone want 146 crank power?  Have fun getting 15mpg and spending $25 everytime to fill it up!! |
