Virginia Motorrad Wall of Shame

Stripped input shaft gear, from severe overheating	Smashed R1100 big-end connecting rod bearings, from oil starvation	Gas tank corrosion, from disuse.
Easy on the kicker there buddy. Try the button.	Overheated caliper, from misadjusted brake pedal linkage.	Mouse nest in K motor.
Stripped 6-speed clutch spline. I see too many of these.	Smashed lip on Nikasil cylinder. This can keep it from sealing against the case properly.	Wrong head gasket, diameter too small. Metal ring overheated and burned.
Zip-ties used to seal throttle body stubs, instead of clamps. Didn't work.	Broken valve, seized piston. R65 under tarp on earth for years.	Seized piston
Got shells? They piled up so high they went down the vent tube for the ignition canister, disabling it.	Why do I keep blowing fuses on my driving lights?	Rear crank shim installed backwards. Spun against case and flywheel, and sheared off the support pins.
Found On Road Dead. West Virginia.	The bike will actually survive with this crap in the sump.	Wrong throttle cable, not enough slack to install properly (note locknut under mounting ear).
Hmmm. Something's not right here.	I see this more often with K&N filters. Dirt on the inside is not cool.	The O-ring doesn't need to be shimmed this much.
Valve cover bolts; nearly had to remove the cylinder head (I didn't drill the offcenter hole). ".. but I used a torque wrench!"	This is what happens to a K fuel pump when you let the bike sit too long.	Bad shift roller
