true,
hate to damage them on a motorway..

My Guzzi dropped a valve at 160km/h a few years back. Made a bit of a noise too. Will never forget that sound. Sorta sounds like $10$50$100$200$300$400 if you say it real fast

same in my old mitsi cage....'cept it went all the way up to $3k and I couldn't say it fast enough...

Ok
my bikes home.
all fixed.
as far as suzuki can tell, cam chain hasn't been running on the chain guide correctly, and finily gave up.
snaped the chain, bent a couple valves, chewed up a couple other parts as well.

Thanks heaps Suzuki for coming to the party.
cheers Dave Andersons for doing the repairs.
top chaps.

all good back on the gravel.
sorry the pics are not the best, parts man needs to learn to take better pics.
