Default possible blown transmission

dont know how it happened but i started my bike to go for a ride got a few miles down the road. i heard this metal noise thought maybe a loose compensator called dealer told me to take it in. i got there tech took it for a ride came back and said possible blown tranny. still have factory warranty so i said if it is tranny install a d7 baker. they told me all i have to is pay the differance so i hope it is the tranny if this the case do any of u know anything about baker transmissions. any advise would be great cuz i dont want to put anything on the bike and regret it later. thanks guys.

That sucks to hear that dude, I thought the transmissions were indestructible.

Good luck, I hope it comes out in your favor.

HD will noy pay the bill for an aftermarket transmission to be installed under warranty. . Odds are you will pay for the gear box and the labor.

Good thing it is under warranty. I'd like to know whether the stock tranny is made overseas. Seems like many components are made everywhere but here. I'm off warranty so if my tranny blew up I'd start looking at a Baker.

Can't say I've heard of many blown trannys. Looking at two spinning shafts with matching gear on each. Couple of pawls and forks. Pretty simple setup really. I'm betting that H-D trannys going bad is a fairly rare occurrence.
