Why would a Crank Bearing Fail?
I was riding with my buddies when my motor made a funny noise then it locked-up. I tore the bike down found the problem to be in the bottom end.
The dealer tore it down the rest of the way to find that a crank bearing had a come apart. They are not sure if i will need a new crank or just the bearing and some machine work. I really like the bike and the dealler has been fantastic, but I'd really like to get a handle on what the root cause of such an expensive failure might typically be, Any thoughts? The bike is a 1999 GasGas EC 300.
