I've got a 05 xb12r with 22k on it. Dealer says crank shaft bearings bad also cyl's and pistons. Bike had regular service.
Would like to hear if others having problems this early. What could cause this?
Thanks

What's wrong with the bike for them to determine the problem is the crankcase bearings.

The motor started making a slapping sound.It is apart now and that is what they found.
Thanks

Nope. Sounds more like it could just be a loose crank/pinion shaft nut to me. Might want to get a 2nd opinion.
