P1000 broken counter-balancer, factory defect?

[jaybyrd]

I've read there was a recall or product update for engine damage due to counter-balancer breaking on a small # of units based on vin #, any truth to this?

Maybe this?

Are you the guy on Facebook with the busted engine?

The one on facebook a few days ago was not mine but I bought a machine with similar damage. Dealership found some water in the intake system and blamed it on hydrolock but I believe it may have been the balancer. The original owner claimed he was on a gravel road when it happened.

That's why I won't buy used in these things. Not to sound stuck up or anything but these things are designed to be ran hard and taken places that can cause damage if driven incorrectly and it seems people beat the crap out of them and then trade them in if they caused or think they caused to much damage. It's kinda the same way with full sized trucks people push them to hard and right when stuff starts to brake they trade them in.
