Results of a fairly standard R45 'Dropped Valve'

The dramatic results of
an R100 'Dropped Valve'
|
R100RT rear
drive splines - 100,000 + miles and you could shave with the splines
|
The result of a dropped R80G/S hitting a kerb and almost
ripping off a barrel. A testament to the old Boxer bottom end, 80,000
miles later the crankshaft has never been removed!
|
An Airhead collapsed gearbox bearing -
the result of ignoring all the warning rumbles
|
A badly
damaged R51/3 piston
|
R1100 Snapped Driveshaft

Below: photos of a 40,000 mile R65 front wheel. Note that
each spoke is badly cracked - the rim has been cut through to allow the
broken spokes to come away from the hub. Design is similar to the early,
recalled 19" wheels but a recall was never issued for the 18" wheels of
the R45/65. Photos by Mark Endean. |
