I was reading a topic on a dutch forum where a guy had a 2003 FS650 with 3400 km on the odo.
When he drove on the tarmac with a speed of 100 km/h his connectingrod snapped.For pictures check out the topic,I can't link them directly on this page.

Scroll down to the middle for the pics.
What would have caused this?They are discussing pistonspeeds but what do you guru's think?
How often does a connectingrod needs to be changed on a 2003 FS650?
 
FSc maintenance according to the 2003 Owners Manual:

Connecting Rod
Inspect every 50 hours
Replace every 100 hours

Connecting Rod Bearing
Replace every 50 hours

Connecting Rod Bushing
Inspect every 50 hours
