Anyone have to replace a motor on their factory turbo? Pretty sure my crank broke yesterday and wondering the costs? All factory with no mods so I am hoping it is warranted.

I ride with a young feller, stage 3 Ibexx tune and clutching. He is an animal, rides his machine like it’s gonna be the last ride! Tuned all season last year over 2000 miles tuned. It’s a 2021 mind you. Hopefully freak occurrence. I sold my n/a and bought a used 2020.5 with 500km on it. I’ve had it out three times this year and love it! Now I’m nervous.

I wouldn’t worry too much. Have a buddie that’s riding one with over 5000km of abuse. Lots of them well over 3000km no issues. There are definitely some failures though. Also have a buddie with 2021. 1st motor around 1250km, now a second one at 5000km. It also has seen a substantial amount of torture.
