Unhappy Help

I have 010 Classic since I had it, was in the shop three times for heavy bearing sound in the front jug [ sounds like a bearing is bouncing around] It doesnt do it all the time. it did it a slow and at high speed.

Did you take it to the dealer and what did they tell you? What's the history on the bike, salvaged, repo, private purchase? Can you further describe the sound and how distinctive is it? I had a Vstar 1100 and my wife has a 650 and the sounds the engine used to make I would swear the pistons are gonna blow up but its normal (if you can believe it, couldn't stand it after awhile and just sold it). Take it to an Indy (independent garage service) and what can they tell you before freakin out. By the way....Welcome to the forum from sunny Arizona.
