Please forgive my lack of mechanical knowledge. I always joke an tell people that I know where to put the key and where to put the gas but that's about it.
With that in mind, what can cause your bike to spin a bearing and bend the rod/crank? This is the scenario I have with my '96 Sport 1100 and I'd just like to be aware why this happened so I can try to avoid experiencing it again.
The Sport has had very little done to it other than the heads being ported and polished and is relatively stock except for a Staintune exhaust. It also has low miles, around 15000, so the motors not clapped out.
Another question that I have is with Raceco gone and a shoddy dealer network who is there to go to on the east coast for performance enhancements, repair, etc.
I've owned the bike since new and plan on keeping it but if I have to tear it down for these repairs I might as well take advantage of it being apart and enhance it a bit for the street.
Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can throw my way.
