Its being taken apart to confirm there is no other problem, then it's wait and see what Harley Tech Support says on if they will authorize the work. I spoke with Harley Customer Service and got a reference number for my dealer to call once they know for sure the extent of the issue. Hopefully they can convince Harley to stand behind their product

 

Good luck. Next time when its on your dime replace it with a one piece bearing.

 

just had mine replaced on a 07 with 16000 on it

 

You have a Part Number " one piece bearing"

What was the sound like when the bearing went, did the bike run funny , shifting hard ??????

 

Here's Bakers PART#:http://www.bakerdrivetrain.com/drive...htorqueBearing
Here's Napa's #'s: bearing #6205-2zj Seal#: 25x52x7tc

As for the noise its like shaking a can of small ball bearings in oil. I described it in the thread you referenced.

 

Mine went out at about the same time while I was in the mountains of NC. The dealership tore it down and told me it was in the transmission and I would need to wait for the parts to come in. I rode it back to Florida with it making all sorts of noises and my Indy had it figured out in about 5 seconds...He could not believe the dealership took it apart past the clutch basket and was either trying to rip me off or was totally incompetent.

I now have 39,000 on it and also had to replace the Compensator.

 

No it should not make the bike run funny or shift hard. Is yous doing that?

 

Great Info. Thanks

Bearing was shot and rear seal on the bearing was leaking ....

See Pictures - do I need to replace the shaft race or just a good 100grit sand paper the roughness out ??

The sound was: In Netural at idle, sounded like a air leak, directly coming from the primary area, when I pulled clutch, shifted gear, it went away....

 

You have to replace both the inner race and outer bearing to keep with OEM and you need a special puller OR take a dremmel and cut the inner race off and get a one piece bearing and press it into the inner primary.

Race puller #620060 $133.50
