so this '10 is exhibiting what iirc the fourth catastrophic gear tooth failure in the last 6-7 months.... I see a progression coming here, and hating to be the harbinger of death, I'm thinking wholeheartedly there is, and has been noted by kaw, a severe and repeatedly documented metalurgy/production issue on these gears... specific to '10 thru '12 production....
if we, as a small cross seftion of owners are documenting this, as many times as we have seen this year, multiply this by x100 and you will see a serious issue... I say this knowing how many COG people are here, vs how many bikes were sold... I venture to say we are as a group, such a small percentage of on road bikes, and those not familiar with us are having issues, we are only seeing about a 5% exaggerated to the high end, total so far, and most scary are the bikes that only see a fouple thousand, if that, miles per year....
not a good omen....
I highly suggest buying those extended KPP warranty plans folks.... I sure as hell wouldn't want to dish out bucks for parts, and tear this engine down...
but so far no '08 has shown up with this problem.... fingers crossed and praying....
