subscribed for outcome/result.
i agree with letting the engine blow so no questions about fix and repair and then see what the upcharge is for a 103.

I'll join those asking about such high rpms around town. I'm no expert on twin cams (only having one since last august) but that seems extreme. My shovel and evo prefer something less. I need to read up on these new fangled twin cams and maybe change my riding style.

Checking in to see the outcome. Good luck. I bet you don't have any problem with getting a warranty fix.

I'm guessing one of them cheap azz inner cam bearings may have let go. If so you wont have to worry about them rebuilding it I wouldnt think. Good Luck!

Come buy my new 103 motor and be riding in a day, while they look at the old motor and try and decide how not to warranty it. Lol
