Hi guys. If I understood the other forum discussion on this subject, they are referring to the chain that connects the engine final drive cog with a cog on the other end that drives the transmission, that big wide one, breaking and dropping down into the crankcase and then being driven into the case, as a big wad of chain, by the crankshaft, producing a crack or worse in the lower crankcase. But I could have miss-read the conversations on the 750 forums. Sorry if I muddied the thread.
You know, my engine runs so smooth I cannot believe it is flexing and twitching and about to flex the crankshaft as if it were not supported properly by stong main bearings. Perhaps if the shaft were soft enough I guess it could happen under load but I suspect Honda knows how to build an inline 4 and this one is their best to date, I would hope. I am so confident in this that I spent a lot of money on that bet.
