next time you have the clutch cover off, take the stator cover off as well. Slide the balancer out and inspect where the bearings ride. the left side is the larger, wide bearing as that is the side with the weight. it can groove, but it takes a silly amount of hours to do. I think i bought a used balancer for my 04 at well over 800 hours.
Yeah, I replaced the shaft when I did the seals. I'm back in the saddle on my trustee steed...All is well! See you on the front row! BRAAAAAP!

Default Cooler Operating temps

AMSOIL has a product called Dominator Coolant Boost. It is designed to lubricate the cooling sytem and prevent corrosion. It will also reduce operating temps by 19 degees when mixed with straight water. And, 6 degrees when mixed with a 50/50 coolant/water mixture. I have plenty of Coolant Boost at my vendor table at the races. Stop by or contact me for more info. Click on the following link for more info.
