Engine Locked

It is a hard limiter IIRC. And no way is it possible that a less than 1 second 11k rpm mis-shift spike ALONE would cause that. There was something else going on.
The same motor is used in the RSV4 and and a good friend has his shift light set at 10k and the limiter at 11k. He runs the crap out of that bike too. Most of the aftermarket tunes for that motor use a 10.5k limiter and quite a few peeps run that.

IMHO Something was ugly in that motor before the 11k mis-shift.....:sour:

Good Luck though....BRP is kinda brutal once they make a decision.

I found out today that a timing chain broke during my ride which immediately shut the engine down. BRP is sending a new engine to the dealer to install on my 2011 RSS under the coverage of the warranty.:yes::yes:

That's great, Glade to see you didn't have any issues with your warranty and you just followed the process. Hopefully you will be back on the road soon. :thumbup:

update

I went to check out the engine after they removed it and opened it up, the technician determined that a timing chain broke and it damaged a lot of stuff inside. one of the shafts was cracked and there was metal throughout the engine, what a mess just glad that it is covered and I will get a new engine.
