Oh, my gawd............I think I best take my motor apart because some other ******-umiak rode his umiak like a ****** and trashed out some chains n stuff. If you worry so much about what's going on in yer engines....then you will never have that one chance to spend the night in a weird town and drink cheap beer with some odd red neck types who say that if it ain't a harley it ain't no motorcycle.

I believe there were some others reported in passing, just not so well publicized.
Hey, nobody has to do anything preventive if they don't want to. For me it was an easy decision, once I had felt how wimpy the spring of the CCT that came out of ionbeam's bike was. $70 bought me a lot of piece of mind. FWIW - The one that came out of my bike was equally wimpy. The new one has a much stronger spring.
OTOH... if you hear the timing chain noise, you'd be a complete fool not to swap the CCT with what is known about it today.
I must say that I did find it amusing and ironic that SkooterG would call ionbeam a Stooge.

How could he stand on top of that pointed hat? And how would he get past the Swiss Guard?
This topic is heading into the crapper - soon my feelings are going to be hurt

SOME engineers types have a sense of humor.
I am on this forum a LOT. Too much. I don't remember any other grenaded engines being reported in passing. Regardless, it is only a handful. The sky is NOT falling. Caution is good. Paranoia not so much. Peeps just need to use some of that grey matter between their ears. At least those that have some.

Don- it is a "winter thing"
The northern owners are in better understanding of working on the bikes at this time a year....
... While we keep a ridin'
Sometimes too long on some parts! And a heads up as I will be selling my rear shock. Only 130k w/ no servicing. One PM at a time please :')

Not really. Some of us just keep riding in weather so cold that it would make you southern mamby pambys' ****** shrivel up and run for cover 6 inches into your intestines
There's always plenty of room for some good forum parlay, no matter the season.
And for the record: I'm not actually an engineer. I just play one on this forum.

C'mon now Big Daddy DonS...
How much talent, skill or fortitude does it take to ride a modern fuel injected motorbike through the near tropical paradise of Mexico in the least torrid time of the year? I'm not feeling your pain, mang.
Put some spikes in yer tires and c'mon up and ride the roads wi'mee tomorrow. We're getting 2 foot of fresh powder.
When you pull up to a stop light and the guy in the SUV gives you the thumbsup then, yeah.... it's the real deal.
Anyone can drink tequila and bask in the sun. Hell... that's what most folks pay for on vacation.

My cow-orkers have a pool going to see if I'm going to ride into work tomorrow in the face of the blizzard. Many think I'm just nukings futs enough to do it.

Sorry I've not been following along here, but I just want to point out South Boston is better known as Southie is not part of the state of Masshole. They don't even belong to this country!
Southies talk funny and fly Irish flags.

Now this is the kind of "information" I was looking for.
Thanks Scooter.
BTW, Old Michael, you could really learn something from this young sage.

The CCT will get tired with time and mileage. Mt Rainier changed his '08 at close to (IIRC) 80K as it was making a terrible racket. Quieted right down with the new one.
YMMV
