I'm curoius, if the crank bearing fails what all does it ruin? I'm curious if all that needs to be done is have the case split apart and have the crank and bearings replaced or does it really mess things up?
Maybe the metal shavings could cause issues with the upper end? There is probably a screen and the filter hopefully wouldn't let the shavings through but could they maybe limit oil flow and cause issues with the upper end not getting enough oil? If I change my oil pretty often is it not something I'll have to worry about?
I just bought a '05 450R, wish it was a '06. Does anybody know what updates they did in '06 to fix the problem?
Thanks!
