Take it off the bike and find a shop with a good heliarc man...don't take his word for it...find out word of mouth...If you were closer,,(like 3,000 miles closer)..I'd knock it out for you... I do them all the time for the local shop up the road from me...seems like a weak spot in the systems...from vibration...and mounts that don't line up perfect...
