Hi,
I just changed the oil before the last time I went out to ride and there weree no metal shaving at all. that bring said, I did put in a bunch of magnets around the motor, so it could be catching the metal shavings.
the crank was just being rebuilt by timbo 20-30 hrs ago, so who knows what is going on.
God bless...

I probably should've been more clear, I meant the stator side main bearing. The crank itself was fine...

You said the vibration was at higher rpms, did you try to rev it up while sitting still. This would rule out everything but the engine.
Hi,
Yep sure did. (Didn't want to pull the motor if I didn't have to )
God bless...

Hi everyone,
Well, the clutch is good, bearings are good crank bearings are great, crank balance plugs are in place counter balance is all good.
So far the only thing I have found after all that is the front motor mount bolt has some wear on it and allows the motor to move around abit. ( I found that the guy I bought it from must have made his own front motor mount update kit or something, cause the bolt going through was tight, but there is still slop in the front mount!) The cradle was really tight to the frame the swing arm bolt was tight, so thus far it is looking like a 5 minute fix that I turned into a major project Oh well, cost some time, but at least I know the motor is still in great shape inside
Looks like trouble made the closest guess Good work.
God bless...

Ps. I will post if I find anything else.
