ZX-14 Rod/Crank Bearing Issues

Anybody hear of a "larger than acceptable" number of ZX14 bearing failures over the last couple of years? I only ask because a buddy of mine had one and it broke, the factory rebuilt it but it never ran the same............shook too much.............so they went back in and re-positioned the balancer. Still did not run right and he sold it.
Has a new R1 now.

A friend of mine bought a 2013 ZX-14,spun a bearing at around 5,000 miles on a stock motor that had never been apart.Believe it also messed up the crank so now the motor is sitting in a Rubbermaid container.

12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Shitty "warranty", IMO. Lotsa new bike manufacturers are givin' 3 years and 36K........like my car. Victory, Indian, even Harley I believe. 12/12 ain't much. Like kissin' yer sister.
