All photos are available in The Husky 510 assploded last Saturday, locking up the rear and putting me on my ass. (connecting rod broke) I slid feet-first into the ditch and barely had a scratch on me thanks to my riding gear. Just a little strawberry smaller than a dime on my right elbow. One more reason to wear as much protective gear as you can...never know what will happen mechanically.

that. sucks. bad.
Glad to hear you made it out okay, though.
So is this gonna be a warranty repair?
Haha...I wish. Warranty is 30 days on these things...they're considered "Race Bikes". =/
Never heard of one breaking like this though. I'm looking into upgrade options. I was going to rebuild the engine this winter anyway. ;)
assdragger: I wear a back protector, silk skins, and tighty whiteys under my leathers. ;)
trplsea: Thanks for that pearl of wisdom. Maybe if everyone bought the same thing, we could all drone around like a bunch of automaton zombies.
Screw the bike, it's important that you are OK.
Darryl,
That's going to take a large tube of JB weld.
Glad you were not hurt. Gear,Gear, GEAR. Much better than road rash.
Very clean inside. Synthetic oil?
So Darryl, it's all about you wanting to be unique?
Then why don't you paint your face red, shove your broom up your butt, and run naked thru The Gap yelling "They're coming to take me away ho ho, ha ha, he he, to the funny farm!"
Seriously guys, he buys a bike he likes and wants and it cratered the motor.
All the shoula' coulda' woulda' doesn't really matter now.
My perspective: it's your money and your life. Buy what YOU want.
beemdubya: I'm with you!!
Nice inspection window. Glad to hear you're ok - good thing it was you and not some gear-less squid.
How many revs were you running just before it blew Darryl? Be honest.
what a bunch of idiots thinking that hondas are bullet proof. I've seen so many hondas with blown motors and not because of abuse or lack of care. plus honda doesn't offer a street legal super motard. you gotta convert something. so personally i'm gonna go husky cause the drz is too small. glad you're alright
