would anybody else be mad

Hey know every one has been cool on your end Jim and Ive told every body it was an "equipment failure" per ED,  and To tell you the truth of it,  the motor was "fast as virgin on prom night" Also said you guys and kevin where taking care of it.  So far my only beef is a new motor properly broke in shouldnt blow up- and shit happens, and I agree with your post nobodys perfect but this also wasnt your doing with the valve dropping.  I just wana race and everybody has told me crap stories and everybody has told great stories about 4&6,  and after hearing them all,  talking too some people, and meeting Ed down at your shop I still bought a motor with your name on it. So like I said I missed alot of my year I just wanna race without sinking alot more $$ into a obsolite bike after this year. Sorry about the post and Ill keep it too myself for now on.

Doesn't always work that way...

Motors don't have a heavy crosshatch on iron cylinders that need the kind of breaking in that they did not so long ago.

Lots of the important bearings are plain bearings...if there's oil pressure, those should really never touch...no real break in there.

Valves...

It's titanium.  It's not going to stretch, it's not repairable.  Simple fact is that the new generation of ti valved bikes are going to have problems, more so than their previous ones.  That's why I kept my old yellow bike.

Manufacturer defects cause problems that cannot be fixed, they can only be "found" upon the destruction of those parts.  I've been there.  I was trying to "break in" a bike, and it broke.

  Oh yeah, I'll see you at Blackhawk this weekend with that $600 refund check you have  been promising for me, right?

Yes I will have it for you!

I guess you are right Dave and like I said, Equipment failure.  As much as I wanted too blame everybody but myself for the motor launching and get on the hate 4&6 bandwagon,  I didnt because we all know Suzuki valving sucks and it wasnt their (4&6s) fault. I just wanted my motor fixed sooner then it has been but it didnt happen and Im pissy about it.  What can you really do?,  but Buy an R6 next time and leave it completly stock.

[fourandsix]

Jeremy even the new 600's stock are breaking. I think Jason Temme had something break on his 06 R6 at road America during the thursay practice for AMA. It might of been a crank or something. I don't know if his was stock. The problem is spinning these bikes upwards of 15500 and stuff fails stock or not. Most streetbikes normally never see that kind of rpm for long periods.

Well,  we will leave the source out of it but,  his motors are built too. Again, Iam sorry for startnig this thread Jim.

Did Kevin get the rest of the parts yet?

[fourandsix]

You would have to talk to kevin on the parts. I am not sure give him a call as he is out of town right now. I understand your frustration. I'm surprised a built motor reaking i thought that only happens to my customers. I wonder what K3 would have to say about that! LOL
