i told you guys a while back about my 9 locking up on me well turned out my drive side crank bearing faild i need some advice on where to get parts and if any one else has replaced this | ||

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. | ||

well i have it apart and it seems to be ok to fix i am bring it to a dealer to get the crank inspected i would hope i can find parts cheep i was looking for some parts ( How much was the used motor?) and have you seen any around having trouble finding good sites to go to | ||

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 |
