If you can do any wrenching yourself just get the replacement bearing from Baker. It should take less than 2 hours to change it if you go slow and the bearing is less than $50. Once you go with the Baker bearing you won't have an issue any more. When the factory bearing fails it's usually slow and obvious. It ain't leave you stranded so you could just keep riding till it gets real bad.
It's not just replacing the bearing that takes care of the issue. What takes care of the issue, is having the tranny pin-located to the inner primary, which in '06 it wasn't... however I believe that requires a new tranny case IIRC. The Moco changed all that in '07, as well as the rotor issue.

Just left the dealer, the tech said there is a definite issue in the primary but until they get into it, he can't say.
Called the MOCO and they gave me a reference number so am taking the bike back in today because it is getting louder. The woman would not admit this is a common problem, but the dealer did, he said it is very common with the "06" model.

The phone number is 1-414-343-4056.... The dealer actually gave me the number!
Woman took my info, told me she couldn't find any notices on this issue. Then was gone for awhile and came back, and gave me my reference number (have a feeling she knows something).
Changed oil for the hell of it, yea, shavings on plug.
Taking bike to dealer and leaving it tonight. Gonna have them check the 2 piece stator, and install the new style tensioner (probably pay to replace this myself).
