Harleywern, are you sure your bike is a 2007? Production of the 2008 models started way before October 2007.

Ksc12c, your bike must be a 2006 being built in January 2006.

Anyone know where "Dirtbike" came from? I don't have good information for him or her, and can't find any postings by them... If it is a bogus datapoint I want to remove it.

Earlier I looked for a crank failure report from "Dirtbike". I could not find one.

There seem to be only 5 '07 crank failures on BadWeatherBikers.

Union_man reported his last 5 serial number digits as 00622.

I'll go back and check my sources which will take some backtracking. May be advriders.com. Unfortunately when I made note of these I didn't record source and date.

Thanks for picking this up, Reep. Not really enough data to draw any conclusions yet but if you look at my VIN, as well as Desertdweller's and Hugh's, they're all within 300. If we assume that Union_mans first digits are the same, we start to see a cluster. (That is, if I understand how the VIN works.) Folks, if you're on this list but we don't have the VIN please complete it.

My bike is sold.

I did not get a date off the bike.

Here is the VIN
4MZDX03D47370062Z (last # may be a 2...can't read my handwriting)

Sorry I didn't get the info.

I'm on the road and my wife can't get my parts list from HD into electronic form. It will show what parts were damaged and lists part #'s.

When I get home I will scan it and send it to Froggy to post it.

And Ski, I'm not trying to take it over, feel free to cut and paste any additions as you get them.

I just copy the non table text, paste it, update it, then update it.

Then copy it so it is twice in the same post.

Then take the first one, and put the table tag in front of it followed by a curly brace, and the curly brace after that top block of text.

That makes it easy to do the process next time...

We can do a lot of interesting visualizations when we get the data, right now we are just collecting. Color coding would be too much typing, so print it out and bust out the highligher. : )

July '06 should be the start of the '07 model year. The 10th digit in the vin number should be 7 for '07 models. My '06 has a 6 for the 10th digit and it was built in June '06.

Reep, I've checked, reviewed, re-read until I'm out of sources and I can't confirm the source on DirtBike. So I guess you can remove. Sorry for the bad info.
