If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Also, rapidray, if you have good working cranks for an 82 or 83, I would like to give you a call.

Thanks all, and I hope I'm not hijacking this thread.

My bearing looked similar, but only on 180 degrees of the face.
It had nothing to do with the oil, I am the original owner. Bike was impeccably maintained using synthetic.

I found a local machine shop referred to me that specializes on motorcycle cranks. We'll see how they do.
 
after seeing this my blue ED bike is officially not for sale anymore. I'm parting it out and keeping the motor as a spare. That is if it doesnt have a crank problem on its's wee 15K miles

Yes. Same here. The bearings were not worn and grooved all the way around - just on one side. I cannot attest to the maintenance on either of the of my motorcycles before I owned them. I only had the 82 for about a week before an irregular (semi-regular?) clanking noise presented itself. Perhaps I should have changed the oil first thing. :confused:

I believe I will take rapidray up on his offer, and purchase a good used crankshaft through him.
