Had a Jap bike once, changed the oil, rice came out. Incomplete combustion!

 

So did you give your wife a good spanking for dropping the ball?

 

True Story, A buddy of mine at work, who was leaving his wife (because she was screwing around on him) caught her pouring sugar in the gas tank. He was smart enough not to start the bike, and had his bike picked up and taken to the dealer to clean up the mess. He is now divorcing the B@&!h!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Don't think you are being honest about your oil change.

 

Hey Bluesssman, ya think? LoL

 

do you honestly think jap bikes are perfect? and not have any issues??
maybe you guys need to join the jap forums and see what they are grumbling about.

 

now thats funny!

 

go sit in the goldwing forums then report back from their perfect world........
seems your the one with nothing good to say here.

 

hey ballpeen did you find out anything? i just picked up my o2 rk from the dealer and there is a bearing on the main gear that has about a 3/8 ball bearings and there is also about a 1/4 ball bearing on each side of the shaft. they are really protected by the design of the bearing, if you have one of each of those out of its bearings you should i think have shavings and or small peices on your magnet

 

Ok we have 3 oil changes here. What is the likelihood that these ball bearings were in their from the first factory fill of oil? Practically zero. Because one or more of these bearing would have shown up at the first oil change or the second. Was this the first time you changed the oil on the lift? Was the angle different on the first two oil changes? Again unlikely, but maybe ballpeen could clarify no change in the angle? Again just trying to consider all of the remote non-obvious possibilities. The last and most reasonable possibility is if likely that ballpeen used a funnel then its possible that the bearings came from the oil quart bottles out the hole through the funnel into the motor. Maybe he turned away or walked away while emptying the oil bottle in the funnel and didn't see them drop out of the oil bottle. Even if he turned away would you here the bearings hit the bottom of the crankcase? Not necessarily the thickness of the oil would create resistance and maybe they would just gently settle on the bottom of the crankcase with no sound. We know they would fall throught the oil slower than just dropping them throught the air. So the sabotage could have come from someone working on the filling line at the oil company or the vendor that makes the plastic bottles for the oil company.

For there to be three bearings coming loose from somewhere in the motor without more coming loose and causing a catastrophic failure by now just seems to indicate that the bearings were externally introduced into the motor.
