Holy shrapnel, Batman.
That piston wasn't in a happy place. Who builds the pistons for AMR? Either that, or the stroker crank is pulling the piston too low in the bore.

wow,,, that is a good one. I guess, if you are going to break it.. might as well look cool.
Makes me wonder if it's a issue with the bore and plating on the cylinder.
If I remember right that was a fst 900 and Glenn had new pistons made and maybe head work and cams

Damn... Mine is running strong still. Just afraid to hit the button. Had the bottle all hooked up and couldn't do it. So much power all ready I'm afraid something like that might happen.
yeah i remember it was a fst 900 previously. did u atleast ride it omar?
Whoa Nelly! That looks VERY bad. I have no idea what would make the cylinder/sleeve shatter like that and I hope I never find out. eek!
Holy broken back hole Batman. WTF? Please letus know what happened as soon as you find out. Sorry for the luck brutha.
G
Won't know exactly what happened until I get it back here, and even then, it is like throwing a hand grenade in a room, and trying to figure out what broke first.....
Either way, it is warrantied. just wish Omar wasn't sitting out, without an engine right now.
Oh, and FWIW, there is plenty of clearance between the pin boss and the crank counterbalances. All that was checked during the initial assembly, even though it was reassembled out there with the new cylinders.

Sorry for the bad luck. Good to see Glenn standing behind his product. It is nice to see that even with us pushing the limits of these machines, someone standing behind parts. I know of other people that only wish their builder would do the same.
Wow Omar... sucks. You've been without for a long time, now this. Good luck on the next one bro.
Lil too much stroke?
thats what she said
Damn Omar that sucks
Bet she sounded good till she poped though

Wow that quads sounds amazing on paper to bad its going to keep blowing up. To big of stroke go to a 900 and nos it.
I am only kidding, Omar is my younger brother, I like messing with him. He gets mad easy. Hope your quad is up and running soon lil bro, but your big bro will still smoke you.
