Re: [ST] Tire cupping/engine buzz

>>Did the bike fall on its left side with the motor running?  Did you wait
15-20 mins before starting it back up?  Did triumph fix the "sucking oil
up into the airbox when the bike is horizontal" problem in the 02->
bikes?<<

No, it fell on the right side.  I probably did wait 15 or so minutes before
starting it back up; I spent a fair amount of time looking for the bits and
pieces that broke off, and then checking her out to see how rideable she
was.

The oil leak only just started (again) a week ago, and I've had her back
longer than that.

>>I'm wondering if you had a hydraulic lock happen right after that
low-side.  That could very well bend a connecting rod, and might account
for the new vibes.  Oh yeah, and that rod just might let go and grenade
your engine at anytime if that's the case.  It's what happened to mine.<<

Good lord, I hope that isn't it...

Thanks,
