Brief description of damage below 9

1. Exhaust valves bent. But failure happened apparently due to an extreme lack of oil in the motor.
2. Broken valve, damaged piston
3. Valve struck piston, broke valve. total front cylinder rebuild
4. valves, front cylinder
5. Bent exhaust valves
6. CCTs didnt fail , strange noises so changed to be safe. Once changed , no more strange noises. ?
7. They were replaced in my bike free before the new bike warranty ran out at the recommendation of the Honda dealer I bought the bike at. The bike was
allot quieter once done.
8. 2 bent valves $1400 repair
9. I only suspect CCT failure at the moment due to engine noise. Going to replace to be safe as soon as I have the cash.
