[QUOTE="Clay-motion, post: 1420982, member: 88613"] Brought my well running 2010 dark side FJR with less than 40,000 miles to the shop in November for full monty Penske/Traxxion suspension upgrade, fix slipping second gear, and check/set valves. Per my word, I paid $1000 -1500 per month to cover expenses over the Minnesota winter and expected to have a better than new FJR to pile the miles on this summer. When I got it out in April, it was soon making weird top end noises on my first real run for fun. When I got home I found it half a quart low of oil, so I topped it off, but noise remained. I brought it back to the shop with about 300 miles in the 2 weeks since pickup, running very hot in rush hour traffic on a 72 degree day and they didn't check it out until this week. The head is shot with scoring on cams and journals and the new parts are on backorder until mid August. Does anyone know where I might find a complete, low miles, good condition top end so I can ride some miles before the snow flies again? Thanks for reading and any input you might share! -Clay [/QUOTE]
