hi guys
I live in Greece i own a ZZR1400 '08 with 47000 km. I bought it on July 2020 and i am the third owner. I have a full service book from the previous owners and the 47000 km are real. A few days ago while i was riding my bike and i was going 190- 200 km/h with 6th gear i had a very rough noise from the engine. I managed to stop with a cloud of white smoke around me. All the right side of the bike was covered with the engine oil along with the rear tire. When we opened the engine in the workshop we found that the cause of the problem was a broken screw on the connecting rod. We found a used engine to replace the broken one but first we are going to replace all the screws and the bearings they are in the connecting rods and the crankshaft with new ones before we place the engine in the bike. I considered myself very lucky or even blessed to be alive and i am very anxious about the future with the ZZR. What if it happens again? it seems that they are not so bulletproof after all.I'm thinking very seriously of buying a new bike but on the other hand i am not eager to spend a lot of money.
