and it still runs! as im downshifting on the highway i didnt step hard enough so it didnt engage into any gear, and what do you know i revved it SO HARD i really thought it was going to blow up :eek:, i heard a weird fluttering noise while it was @ its peak which sounded very weird and i heard flames comming out of the exhaust. it sounded like it went to 14k rpms no joke- it sounded like a high pitched shriek,.. ive mis shifted like this before but never this bad with extra fluttering noises- i mean it was really out of hand, it truly scared the crap out of me and i really cant believe nothing happened to the bike-or so i hope.. i've heard of bent valves but my bike runs mint... unbelievable.
 
Check your oil man, even when my bike ran dry it rode for about 100 miles after adding fresh oil before the bearing went. Better hope you don't have metal shavings that come out.
 
It's probably fine, it's a GS after all. If it didn't grenade on the spot it probably won't.

i really understand how that feels (being without a bike and such) when my bike was down (several time) i would really feel withdrawl and i would seriously be ****ed at EVERYONE for that day, i would bark answers at everyone and they'd be like "wtf is his problem" in their heads... hey everything happens for a reason right! ill be hunting the SD craigslist for ya, you need a 750, 1000, or 1100!

No, it happend because I couldn't catch a break with anything and that ****er Murphy thought it would be funny to **** with me and see if I could walk away alive then be stuck in the HOV lane on the freeway and have to deal with that plus everything else. So **** YOU Murphy cuz I did it. Bitch.

I have a new engine coming some time soon. I only get mad when I think about that whole month.

hahhaha thats funny as hell (not that hell is funny... where did that saying even come from?) anyways shortly after i went into the beach parking lot and inspected... the bike sorta acted like it had seafoam in it.. some (not insane amounts) white smoke came out after i would throw a rev.. is this a good thing? everything sounded spot on and ran right on the money.. i may do an oil change soon though as i had to top mine off quite a bit this cycle
 
You are lucky. I did that 20 years ago on a Gpz550. Right through the redline and pinned the needle for less then a second. I made another 5kms down the road and it stopped working. I bent almost every valve.

And to think I was trying to wheelie pass a car with some girls in it.
 
14k? and extra noises... ouch.. :-&

I would at least check the compression, and do a leakdown to make sure some of the valves are not bent.
