Read Dampking 's reply about AVL crank. My '09 is. apart, awaiting s- cams, piston out, con rod has seemingly a lot of left to right motion, 8,000 miles,had barrel honed to remove scoring , looks like pencil mark, sounded like marbles, machinist said rings were worn.
I am a newbie and wouldn't know serious wear unless someone pointed it out to me.
Am hesitant to reassemble the bike unless I know I have corrected the marble sound and the cause of the barrel scoring,
Addressing the weak link crank issue at this time sounds like a great idea as I don't want to go through another beautiful autum without my RE. Code...lazy.
I have no idea how to do this operation, except I know I will have to split the cases
Can you point me in the right direction?
