Were can I find out more info on the Bender oil pump set up now that Bender is under new ownership? I am righting this year off and I am not racing to put my motor back together. Since I have my sled apart, I am looking for other mods that make sense. A rear cooler for starters. Thanks, G.B.
I am not sure about Bender's status today, I have heard they are gone, no more,

pretty decent price for sure! back on the trail before ya know it 

Logan,
Glad to hear it was not more damage to your motor. What all does CB do for $175? Are they just replacing the one bearing, or will they check the rest of the crank out and the rods? Thanks, Brett

i guess he is going to replace the one bearing and check the other ones. it will be more if anything else is bad. i called another shop and he wanted $200 to do it and he was going to charge me $75 per bearing so it would be a minimum of $275

Thanks for the info. I will have to give them a call when I get my case split to see what bearing failed on my motor. Good luck! Brett
