650SK3 engine unit needed
 

A desperate plea to find a new engine for my broken baby!

Broke down on the M4 last weekend. Discovered that i have a large hole in the front of the crank case just behind the starter motor. (no wonder the slow lane was covered in oil after me)

Have been told by the garage that i need a new engine, but where to find one? I dont have a clue where to look, but i know the price is going to sting me :(

Please help me!

Thanks a million!

Feck me that is large and worrying what caused it. A weak spot in the case hit by a stone but still it looks rather big. You say its a K3...How many miles you done on it?

Mr Suzuki may be interested to see it mate.

Yeah, I'd get the new one and take that one to Mr Suzuki...Not covered under warranty but your gonna want an explanation...

Are you fairly good with keeping your engine top up with oil etc?

Re: 650SK3 engine unit needed
 

I have 90% of a K3 engine. All it needs is a front cylinder head, cams and rocker cover. £220??? However I would recomend you collect it as I had to pay over £50 to get it posted.

Will do, thanks plowsie.

I'm fairly good with the top ups, I'm quite often check the oil level. I did check it recently when I changed oil on a mates sv1000, it all looked good.

One garage said that excessive wheelie-ing would drain the front cylinder of oil and cause heavier wear, but still...i just cant wrap my head arround what happened and how
