[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 706935, member: 277"] If it really turns out to be your transmission, and it sure sounds like it, consider the time frame of the repair. The engine has to come out of the frame and the bottom end has to be split; disassemble happens until the problem is found and only then do the parts get ordered. With any luck the parts will be here in the US. The whole process then has to be reversed and hopefully nothing goes wrong. So, you have to ask yourself, do you want to do this at a time of your choosing outside of the summer riding season or take a possible 3-4 month hit during the prime summer riding season? There have been a couple of reports of bolts being loose in the transmission and final gear assembly. On the one hand, here is to hoping that this is your problem and the bolt doesn't fall out and go someplace unfortunate. On the other hand the engine still has to come out and apart to find the bolt problem. Good luck with this and wishing you a happy outcome. [/QUOTE]
