chain reaction-motor mount-belt-crank seal-crank bearings-?

[trailboss04]

here is the story 2001 sxr500, apparently the motor mount broke first (clutch side front) causing the clutches to misalign, then the belt flew apart at wide open throttle, when that happened the motor pitched forward enough to dent in the Y pipe on the left side from hitting the bulk head, also cracked the Y pipe. The belt wrapped around the crank shaft (apparently) which i thought i cleaned off before riding 10 miles home, the belt fragments burnt up the seal on the end of the crank (right behind the clutch) causing air to leak into the bearing and wrecked that before i got it home. By the time the dealer is done, I will have 700 $ into this one. so watch those motor mount bolts that go into the block. has anyone else seen this one ??

yeah, i had the bolt break on the pto side mount, i saw the bad wear on the belt and cought it before it did what yours did. sorry about you loss
