Catastrophic engine failure with oil loss

Engine (case breach / internal gears)

Forum / discussionIndexed Aug 21, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

Reddit post by u/RaceMedical4274 (r/motorcycles). Days after buying a used 2012 CBR1000RR with ~33k miles, the engine lost power with loud noise during a hard ride, the handlebars shook violently, oil sprayed over the bike with thick white smoke, and a piece of the engine case was missing exposing gears.
