It's good you're getting a new engine.. Looks like they're taking care of the customer. bravo!
Might request root cause analysis be performed at the factory and respond back to you on what corrective actions are being performed to prevent this type of recurrence.. just for giggles.. Could ya guess I'm a Quality Engineer?
An assembly failure, or supplied component failure from a moco supplier, or possibly some other failed component causing the damage?Eh, as long as you're up and riding soon on your new scoot.
