bummer on both accounts.
I empathize with. I had friend and a friend of a friend go down behind me last season and being there for support can be a little tooo grounding at times.
and on the smoke thing. Pray what Wheelie said to be true because it is the most logical of thoughts. Another would be to say 'cracked block'. either way that shit rots, man.

hope that works out for you bro. I knew a guy with a gsxr with a full pipe on it and had some motor trouble. he had an extended warrany and they said because he ut a high performance exhaust system on it it voided warranty. hopefully they take care of ya.

If 954rr was still working I'd link you all to my case.
My 1st 954 I did the whole 9 to except the custom map and at the 600 miler they didn't torque my oil filter properly. The seal blew out during a high speed sweeper (approx 150mph). It was a miracle that I pulled out of that but that's another babble in itself.
They took forever going through the process of waranty since the honda rep had to come and investigate all the waranty cases at his own sweet scheduled leisure.
Honda warantied the issue even with a full pipe and pc3r on the bike.
The fucked up thing is that the dealer didn't really check the motor out and the day I got the bike back I went out railing it and the main bearings scored off and the pistons rammed the vavles at around 170mph... After some more of calling Honda themselves and ragging at the dealer I got a new bike. Which I didn't let the monkeys touch and it never had a problem... till it looped over a crest and totaled itself after 470ft.
bottom line. Yes they will waranty it and if they don't I will let you summons me and then after a litigation process they will honor your waranty but probably only rebuild your engine unless the cost would be equal to or greater than a new motor and if that's the case you'll get a new motor.
Best of Luck :wink:
