wow catastrophic rod brg failure ouch, seen the same thing on a late model vmax, 500 ninja, and a zx7. in all cases oil was low and old. how many miles were on your sv?

ok thanks people, seems they still make it, but seems the only way to get it in canada is to import it from the states. gona hav to look into it further.
