2013 Te449 Blew Up? (video!)

Can anyone throw some suggestions as to where to start with my bike? Bad clunking then she just shut off and wouldn’t crank over again. I actually captured this on video.

Anyone still on here?

If you listen when I am at the stop sign right before I pull out you can hear an extreme chatter and then shortly after is the failure. I will begin with the stator. If those bolts backed out and that was the chatter I heard, what would it have damaged?

I could have sworn the last time I went to adjust the shifter, the frame prevented it with the motor in the frame. Perhaps I am mistaken. I am waiting for my plugs for my car in the mail and heading over to the garage where I work on my stuff and will try to remove the cover.

Also, how can I check if mine has wide or narrow key?

You guys were spot on!!! I thank you guys. Firstly, should there have been oil in this cavity? Secondly, should I assume there is damage to the bottom end, due to there being those manufacture drilled holes in the crankcase itself? How do I replace the stator, as the wiring is so hard to trace where it goes to, and doesn't look like you can simply unplug at the stator assembly itself. I may be taking this to a local shop at this point to make sure everything is done correctly. Also, the gear that the starter drives fell off (hence why it is now zip tied on), I think I put it back on right, but not sure. Seemed like it only went back on fully a certain way. Also, got the bolts mixed up from the cover, some are shorter some are longer. Any insight for when I reassemble?

There were what appeared to be black pieces of plastic in there as well, any ideas as to what that could have been?

A few more

The question then becomes, how do I source this puller?

Also, you are saying spray brake cleaner directly into the secondary oil filter holes? I always clean them when I change my oil anyways so I am familiar with them.

Should be a class action lawsuit lol I didn’t even know this was an issue.

Perhaps my local Husqvarna dealer still has one??? Is that even worth a call?

Also, lmao, there is a sixth Allen bolt unaccounted for. The other ones seemed to mostly have been contained inside the flywheel. Where should I check for the sixth? If it went into the bottom end, am I done for?

I watched the Australian man’s video where he uses the different size bolts. He heats the flywheel substantially. Is that safe to do on the bike?

What was the clanking noise? Was my piston hitting the Allen bolt? Or crank chewing it up?

The holes I was speaking of I believe there were three circular holes behind the flywheel to the right side you could see the crank through

Can you link me to a thin walled 10mm socket. All the ones I am finding don’t look long enough to clear the flywheel

Is this all I will need from Motosport? Any other bolts I should order while I’m at it? Might as well get the gasket too huh.

When you say don’t use anything but spray gasket sealer, are you saying if I can’t use the stock gasket and I am using another method? Or is this referring to something else?
