Busted crank shaft
Last week I commented on "Lower timing Chain Blew up!!!!!" from av8er4fun titled Mine too!. I explained what had happened to me on my 2011 r3r last week and believed it to be the timing chain (once again I'm not all that Mechanically inclined but can do routine maintance).
Monday I recieved a call from the dealer telling me that it was not the timing chain, that the Crank Shaft was broken. They have ordered a new motor but asked me to gather my Maintnance Records since they Believe Triumph will want them. Sounds reasonable.
At the time this occurred I was just finishing a turn and was excellerating (Mildly) somewhere between 40 and 50 mph when this occured. As I stated earlier in my comment on av8er4fun thread, My bike was experiancing the rattle can noise and I had taken it to two separate Dealers the first had for three weeks and claimed they could not hear it. The second kept it one week and claimed they had repaired it. I left them with information from r3owners regarding a cause and cure. when I returned I found the noise awas still present. which they of course could not hear.
Has anyone had a simular experiance with the Crank on their rocket? I could definitly stand to hear from someone who knows more than I do. which from what I read would just about be 75% of you..
Thanks,
