Same here, mine shearded a head bolt and the cylinder came loose. Well DA will get me all fixed up

Now you know why I won't mess with my DA-85 it runs too good to mess with it. Yours seems to no be a happy camper. I hope it does not keep this up or it's going to earn a lot of flyer miles on ups.

Not sure what happened to mine, but I know DA will take care of it. They always do.

I agree, I'll get mine sent off as as I can. But I think I will put some time on Da-100 for a while.

How old is your 85 and does it have all the latest updates?

I it almost 2 years old, I got in in October of 2007 or 2008 I think, #261, I has been sent in for updates once when the crankshaft shifted back. But i guess it need more updates after talking to Jeff and DA yesterday. No worries I know it will be taken care of.

Yea, the first time mine went in for updates about 6 months ago, they replaced almost everything minus the carb. I just sent it in a month ago for a leaky gasket and the engine came back with another piston update. I can tell you once the updates were done, this thing hardly vibrated at all. Super smooth.

Well I think that is what will be updated this time. just like you when I sent it in before I got everthing replaced except for the case and carb.
