The noise calms down a little with some heat in the motor. I sent in an oil sample before this thread started in August, and thanks to or trusty postal service, it took a month for them to receive it. I'm not sure how to use the chart that's on this thread so I'll just attach the results, and if someone wants they can add it to the chart. Compared to the other test results, I don't believe I have any thing major going on down low. I'm still not sure what the noise is, maybe it's a lifter hanging up? By the way it's an '06, 19000 mi., and build date of Dec. '05.   Buewulf Posted on Thursday, October 06, 2011 - 10:14 am:        ID Year Model Mileage Interval Sample Kit Fe Cu Sn Pb Cr Ni Al Ti Ag Refurb 2007 XB12X 19,342.00 2,500.00 1,805.00 Dyson 10 194 4 9 1 0 2 0 24 Johnboy777 2007 XB12X 12,000.00 3,000.00 3000?

I'd like to see if, say, Amsoil generally ends up with less silver than Valvoline. I'll do that on my bike anyway... I have valvoline in there now (it was on the shelf), will get it analyzed 2100 miles from now, and will switch to Amsoil, then get it analyzed.   Buewulf Posted on Thursday, October 06, 2011 - 01:45 pm:        ID Year Model Mileage Interval Sample Oil Brand Weight Kit Fe Cu Sn Pb Cr Ni Al Ti Ag Refurb 2007 XB12X 19,342.00 2,500.00 1,805.00 Mobil 1 15w50 Dyson 10 194 4 9 1 0 2 0 24 Johnboy777 2007 XB12X 12,000.00 3,000.00 3000?

Let me know if I need to correct this.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, October 06, 2011 - 03:53 pm:        Thanks!

I want to remain in denial about the fact that my crank is likely screwed.   Reepicheep Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 - 10:58 pm:        Now tracking updates at top of page, and moved into knowledge vault. C'mon XB12 owners, do some oil analysis!   Buewulf Posted on Friday, June 01, 2012 - 09:34 am:        The crank is still together, but until recently the bike had been broken down for so long with other maladies that I have only put about 1500 miles on her since my oil analysis. I wish we had some oil analysis figures for people who had crank (or any major engine failure) before their failures occurred. It would be interesting to see if there would be any real sign of impending doom.   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, June 01, 2012 - 09:41 am:        Yup. My guess is that I'll be one of the ones providing the data, but I'd love to be dissapointed and just have my crank hold for 100k miles.   Buewulf Posted on Friday, June 01, 2012 - 09:57 am:        Haha. Are you just a pessimist, or are getting some symptoms that leads you to believe your crank is going?   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, June 01, 2012 - 01:52 pm:        More a pragmatist at this point... Look at the chart at the top of this page: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/648773.html?1338346801 Look where my VIN is... 6 up from the bottom, dead in the middle of a cluster of failures. I'm not positive what the root problem is (bad heat treating of cranks? bad bearings?), but whatever it is, there is pretty good chance its wrong on my bike also.
