This is the first time I've ever seen this engine apart! How can 2nd gear fail like that? The slipper clutch on my 2020 activates on sloppy upshifts and downshifts so this is puzzling. Was the shift drum damaged too?
In this case, there was a recall on the 2nd gear, however, running at high speeds in lower gears for prolonged periods of time during the break-in period could also cause this in non-faulty gears. We aren't sure if this 2nd gear was faulty or if it was due to high speeds, but multiple parts had to be replaced due to the explosion damage. Luckily the shift drum was not damaged though.
I would recommend getting it check out by a powersports service department before buying a new engine! It may be a quick fix or way cheaper to fix through a service dept. than on your own!

Bravo! Great job techs
how did you get the pistons and rings in place if the conrods are already covered and attached to the crank?
Nice rebuild!

How in the world did you manage to blow up a Er6n! These engines are bulletproof!! Is there any story you could share?
The owner must have abused the bike in someway never heard of the bulletproof parallel twins having any issues.
