I was driving my motorcycle on the car pool lane when all of a sudden the bike seized up and the rear wheel locked up so I held the clutch lever and pulled to the left of the left median so I took it to a shop but they just screwed me and dismantled the whole engine and never told me what was wrong so I just bough another engine and the same thing happened to this engine but this time I took it apart and found out that a manufacturing issue may cause the connecting rod bearing to wear prematurely, corrode and break, which may cause the engine to stall and/or not restart I found a recall on nhtsa website I have supporting documents which I i will supply.so 2 engines same problem. The second picture IS the bearing that failed all that debris was in my oil also I learned how to take apart and put back together motorcycle engines because I have about 5 motorcycles and dirt bikes.
