Hi all,
I'm thinking of taking my bike the the kawi dealer in Burbank to have a
gasket (or two) changed to repair an oil leak. Does anyone have any
experience with this dealer?

My 2006 KLR650 has 11,000 miles. Doo replaced, always well maintained
since the very gentle break-in. I had it towed home over the weekend
after it stared making a terrible rattling noise coming from the
motor combined with rough vibration. The vibration was what I noticed
first while I was doing about 65mph.
My mechanic listened to it and said "Gordon, that doesn't sound good.
It sounds like......possibly a main bearing."
He should have it opened up sometime today. If it is a main bearing,
has anyone heard of something like this? Any history of an
aftermarket doo-hickey failing? Oil pump failure? It starts right up.
This is my baby! I'm really bummed about this.
Thanks for any input!
