Hi guys,
So the other day i was out riding. On my 2003 vrod anniversary, high ks 93000 kms to be exact. Bike was running fine until i came to a stop and tried taking off in first gear and the bike wouldnt move at all.
Ended up towing the bike home and im thinking its a clutch issue because the bike starts and can shift through all the gears just will not move when given throttle.
Im based in New Zealand and a local harley mechanic said to drain the oil and check for shards of metal on the magnetic plug which i did and found a couple of shards of metal (as seen in pictures) i sent him the photos and he said it would cost $8000 (OMG) to do an engine rebuild as the shards of metal may have gone through the engine.
Has anyone had this problem before? 8k is alot of money so i want to give it a crack to fix it myself. I was thinking of replacing clutch to a slipper clutch or am i facing bigger problems?
PLEASE HELP!!!
