I have a Gixxer that I purchased in 2015, worked great until a stupid thing that I did recently. I went on a drive 600 Km total and while returning I forgot to stop a bit to get the engine cooled and drove almost 170 Kms non-stop at around 90-100 Km/h speed constantly, suddenly the engine stopped making a zipping sound as if something slipped.
After waiting for a few minutes it started normally but the engine started to make a knocking sound. After visiting the service centre the guys there told me that I need engine repair and it'll cost 20K and it'll give me about 1L kms worth of life and mind you I have ridden almost 1.5L kms with my bike without any engine issues.
My question is, is it worth repairing the engine? Will it get revived completely? How much should I pay for the work? Should I go for authorised SVCs?
