I got all my parts back today except the bottom end gaskets, so I had to order them. They will be in tomorrow, but I think I need to replace my right crankshaft bearing. The left bearing is brand new and pressed onto the crank. The right bearing is the stock bearing that came out of the bike, and I wonder if I should go through the extended wait and get the left bearing or go ahead with the install tomorrow and get my bike done Wenesday or Thursday? Please....all opinion's are needed. I have to decide before morning.

 

That just might be one of those fixes you will be kicking yourself for not doing. Have them overnight the bearing and you will sleep better with a thorough rebuild. My 2 cents. Good luck, waiting $ucks.

 

Why do you think it needs replacing, how much time on it?

 

The bearing was the original stock bearing, with 40hrs on it. I went today to a dealership and picked it up. Thankfully all my calling paid off and they had it. Right now the Raptor is on schedule for a return on Wenesday, or Thursday.....if there is anymore problems, it will be friday. But the guy at the shop assures me he will get it put together, cleaned up, and ready to drive out of the shop before the beautiful weather hit's Friday.

Right now it is raining, and it's nasty outside. Thursday is is supposed to be cloudy...but Friday/Saturday/Sunday it's going to be sunny and in the high 70's! So I will get the pic's and everything up this weekend, and now everything is new. New crankshaft bearing and all. No worries at all on this build.

Trust me, we are taking out time. We are only working on the motor in early morning and late evening, when there are no customer's around to be in the way. We are taking our time and doing this assembly right. I can't wait to get the finished product up on my picture page with the ride report. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
