Was this on your 03 9r I see in your profile? my crank bearing on the pinion side failed to the point where it sheared off the pinion shaft. It happened without warning and I didn't hear or feel anything leading up to this. My bike was a 03 9r with 22k on it. It took two years....but I finnaly decided to replace the motor with a used 06 xb12...It seemed cheaper to buy a used motor instead of fixing my old one. To fix your bearing, you would basically need to rebuild your engine. |

The manual makes it sound like HD does an exchange program with the cranks. Have you looked into that? Like call Buell, not the local dealer. |

Whitethunder, I bought a wrecked bike $2400, parted it out, kept what I wanted (motor and other esentials) sold the rest on ebay for what I paid for the whole bike.....got the motor for free!!!! minus labor......You can find wrecked bikes out there for pretty cheap |
