How many miles did your Baker 6speed last ?

[Claymation]

2005 BDM chopper 2500-3000 carrier broke. 7000 bearings shot. 8000 mainshaft broke.

 

[barhopper]

04 bulldog, many more miles than yours, still good.

 

[Raywood]

05 Chopper 83,000 so far

 

[HMAN]

04 Pitbull 18K+ Still kicking strong.

 

[BBChopper]

15k, good now.
Did input bearing at 7k, carrier at 3k.

 

[BadBrad]

Mainshaft broke at 13K. 16K now and running great!

 

[phatchopper300]

Did rebuild at 2500 and replaced main shaft because I didn't want to end up on side of the road. 15000 miles and all is good. I should say the rebuild was due to the former owner didn't do a service bulltin #1090 (countershaft bolt upgrade) and caused a small issue so I just had it rebuilt.

2005 ridge,33k and good so far

 

[Bmarchant]

03 chopper- 24,000 and counting. Nothing but change the oil for engine, trans, and primary, and do the everyday maintenance stuff. Love my Dog. Things happen, and I may need help finding what it is from you guys, but its my every day ride when its not pouring or snowing.

 

[TSDAWG]

Worked over at 18000. Replaced at 21000....now at 26000...Holding my breath.

 

[Reaper]

Got a little over 6,000 miles on my 05 Ridgeback, and no issues.

 

[Bobby Schulz]

Rebuild at 15k...bearings shot. Did my regular maintenance too. I rebuilt it myself and used better bearings,hope it lasts longer.

 

[PurpleDog]

18k + still going.........

 

[postman]

12200 miles and 4th gear slipping on my 2008 k9 saving for the 1700 dollar rebuild.

 

[Brew]

I'm going on 26,000 miles and still going. Change out the fluid during all oil changes...:2thumbs:

 

[Knuckles]

07 K9 - main shaft broke about 7,000. BDM gave me new tranny under warranty. Bearings started going less than a year later (had to be defective bearing). Sent it to Baker. Did a rebuild and only charged me 80 bucks for parts...no labor. Thanks Baker!!!!!
20k on it now. No problems

 

[TCALZ06]

I have just over 20k on mine. no problems yet

 

[Throttle]

Main bearing failed at 18,000, replaced with used Baker ..

 

[Bmarchant]

Sounds to me like Baker might have changed suppliers sometime in 2005, and started seeing some issues with them. Seems they might not have caught the problem until 2008.

Might be a interesting to keep this going and do a cause failure analysis on this.

07 mastiff-- main bearings shot at 15k gots 19 on it now
