I’m really curious about your Yamaha RX50MK for the next True Grits. You think it’s gonna hold up on those crazy mountain roads?

I’m thinking about joining next year myself. How’d the Yamaha hold up on that run? I’m still debating which bike to bring if I make it. Curious if you ran into any issues with the smaller bike on those mountain roads.

using a micrometer to measure the thickness could be an option. You could then add or subtract thickness with washers. Just a thought, might be worth a shot.

Sounds like you might be dealing with a bad crank bearing then, as Meatball suggested. It's a pretty intensive repair, not for the faint of heart. You may want to consider getting a professional to look at it if you're not comfortable with engine disassembly. Hope it works out.
