new swingarm, trapped the engine breather, popped out the kickstart seal, lost an alarming amount of oil, unfortunately the engine survived, so i still can't buy a zs190 :(

And you got oil all over your rear tire and didn't bin it straight into a curb or a ditch. I call that a successful day all around.

If you need assistance with blowing your engine up I can probably arrange that. I know a guy.

Yep, ripped around a hard right, then merged onto dual carrigeway for all of 40 seconds of flatout (bike is to slow to legally travel there) pulled off and when I went to change down it went clack instead of snick, I stopped and looked, lucky is right.
