Hi Members,
I need some quick advise. Now the story.
My Sisters 900 XP started making a tink, tink sound a few weeks ago. It sounds like a piece of bailing wire hanging down and bouncing off the drive shaft. She took it in and they found a bent shaft and bad u joint and said it's from hauling too heavy of loads and say the frame needs to be re inforced.
There is no vibration, just the sound. Now the problem. This all happened just before our big family ride on Sunday. I said just go pick it up and use it.. The dealer says don't use it. Its going to cost $560 to fix it. So the advise i need is. Can she reasonably feel comfortable to use it as there is no vibration? We will not be on any rough trails and she is so anal with this machine the over weight comment is a false accusation.
