I didn't know what happened but i heard a faint pop coming from under and i felt a slight loss of power. I continued to twist the throttle but bike didn't accelerate. Finally i made it to the side of the freeway and visually inspected the bike with the fairings off. Didn't notice anything suspicious... so i attempted to start the bike again. The engine started but would not idle. It'll stay on if i kept twisting the throttle but did not sound healthy at all. It was then i realized i'd be down for a while
. Towed the bike home and she sat for a couple of months until i finally had the courage to tear her apart to find the lower timing belt snapped.
Open'ed up the valve covers to inspect the rockers/valves but really have no idea what i'm looking for. Any pointers to how to inspect the motor for more damage w/o tearing off the heads?
