Thumper - next year you should carry the baseball and bat to the toy run somewhere besides the primary case. It's really not made for hauling toys!
 
Did you ever have any clutch problems, like drgging at a stop light or slipping? Hard shifting, hard to find neutral, anything like that? Was any cable slack or alot of free play at your lever? With over 4000 miles, do you cruise in 4th gear alot?

No clutch problems, it actually did have something chew the belt up so it's likely they were right about picking up a rock, picked it up today and all seems fine, time will tell for sure. I'm pulling the rear end out tomorow so I will see it I can find where it got stuck at.

I've been out of town this weekend so I missed answering the question about what I was doing in a timely manner. Day late, dollar short...what's new? HA
Have fun tearing that rearend off and fixing that fender.

Where did the belt get chewed up at? Was it on the top side of the belt and look like gashes?

Hey Thumper, just remember, if you need anything just give me a shout. I've got that trailer just sitting there. If all else fails, we can hold it to Kansas-:flag:

The last time I seen an object lock up the rear wheel, there was damage. Not saying they didn't fix it, but why not have them call BDM techs and make sure they don't have any concerns or may want something looked at,if they want something checked then it would probably be under warranty, you never know until you ask.

I'm heading out right now to put a few miles on it before pulling it down, the belt was worn on the outside edge, no gashes, just smooth and missing. I'll give BDM a call tomorrow and see what they say, I did learn that Bakers come with a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty and this is probably the reason BDM is repairing some out of warranty.
