Can't help with a Tennessee tech but agree with rigidthumper considering the noise presented without warning and is a fairly common issue with the pre '06 compensators; certainly worth a look see.
JMHO but should the problem turn out to be the lower unit, I can think of several better options than the 120R which has had issues of it's own. Why not rebuild what you have?

I would prefer to build my current ride. The problem is I recently moved down here from Chicago and lost all my wrenching connections.
The idea of having a dealer rebuild my bike is concerning. I'd have to see if they would even consider using alternative parts like a S&S motor etc.
If I had a trusted mechanic around am sure I would build my current Scoot.
It has a new after market clutch, Baker 6 speed, cams etc.
I bought it new March 2005 and sincerely do love the bike.
Am sure I could fall in love with a 2021 too if that is how it goes.
I am getting a head of myself, first thing to do is find out exactly what is wrong. ( again, missing my trusted mechanic)
