crank twisted

[AliveAgain]

The bike was making a racket even before installing the hydraulic conversion and cams so I brought it to the dealer. They said the oil press. was lower then where it should have been and probably need a tear down. Here is what I found.

marks on the end of the shaft

aw what the heck

this was the trans. shaft

I'll take it apart tomorrow and next weekend ,send it out.

I'm wondering if putting it on the dyno making a lot of pulls to get a map contributed to this. I'm not trying to blame the tuner , just a heads up.

Not trying to add salt to the wound but this is exactly why you will never see one of my bikes on a Dyno. Unless you need to squeeze every last ounce of power from your scoot a Dyno-Tune is doing more wear and tear than is necessary for a daily driver. Racing, well that a different ballgame altogether..

Hope you get her back together and can enjoy the ride soon.

I have to agree about not subjecting any bike to a dyno. Sure IF the operator knows what they are doing they can get a few more HP out of the engine but it takes it's toll on the engine too.

I had it on the dyno because it smelled rich and wanted the gas mileage. We just did a runout and it was .003 so I guess the noise wasn't where I thought it would be. A little puzzled now.
