Consideration when looking at bikes with 96ci or greater

[chevie1965]

I bought my 07 before there were known issues with the 96 cu in. knowing it was new to the market. It has 27K on it now and I have a rattle in or around the timing area. I am guessing but it sounds like a chain rattle and worn bearing. From what i gather this is coming to be a pretty common issue with the 96 in motor. I am mechanically inclined but not on scooter motors. Can your recommend a good repair method that gives good details?

Thanks

Could someone here maybe set up a poll on crank runout issues? It would somehow have to include miles on bike at the time of the problem.
