Guess the noise

Might as well have some fun with this. I now have a nice knock at idle and light load. I'll probably rip into it tomorrow and start chasing it down. I have an idea but lets see what everyone thinks.

That was my thoughts too. Thought I would throw it out for fun though.

Well that is the sound of a rotor coming apart and eating the stator. At least it's the last of the dreaded 06 issues to hit me.

Major suckage, Rick. On the bright side, you won't be riding in fear of that issue cropping up anymore. I hope your Baker bearing lasts longer than the stock IPB.
