Hi SBT Tech -
I recently purchased a motor from you and the sales/shipping process was superb. I am extremely satisfied - kudos for providing a great customer experience.
I am curious why it's so common to see the middle cylinder throw a rod on this particular motor ('98 Kawasaki 900 STX). Is there a design flaw from Kawasaki that causes this? I am familiar with the new motor break-in procedure, but does this motor require any additional "TLC" to prevent problems in the future? Or are there any tricks that you are aware of to ensure long life? I will be doing the oil pump block-off modification as I know that is a very common point of failure.
Thanks in advance,
Donut
