Thanks for all the info. I learned today that one cam bearing disintegrated and sent metal shavings into the oil pump and also into the crankcase and crankshaft bearing. Long story short...I need a new oil pump, set of cams, cam chains, tension shoes, gaskets, CRANKSHAFT, crank bearing, right side of engine case (ob longed the bearing raceway) and possibly have the cylinders honed out and new rings on the pistons. (ughhhh!) All I have to say is thank God for Extended Warranty!!! (only paid $1500.00 for it when I bought the bike in 2004)
I'm thinking of having some High Performance cams, oil pump, and maybe a Stroker crankshaft installed seeing that the labor is being covered. Any thoughts on Gear driven cams vs. Chain driven?
