Question '07 RKC trans.
Was out last weekend for a ride and heard a strange noise comming from somewhere under the seat. Took her in and was told there was a bad bearing in the transmission, maybe more. I trust my wrench, heck, he's the only person other than myself that I trust to touch my scooter, that's not the issue. My question is this, has anyone else ever had any problems with their trans? If so, what?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. My wrench says that's what happened to mine, with only 33K+ on the dial. Oh well, I've always been hard on transmissions. I just hope all the parts for mine aren't on back order.
