Hi all,

A buddy of mine has a 2001 Sprint RS that has developed a pretty nasty
rod-knock after being run out of oil (long, sad story).

He's getting ready to rebuild the bottom end but neither he nor I have
enough marque-specific experience to correctly assess which bearing
shells correspond with stock crankshaft journals versus first
undersize, etc.

The local (well, closest, but it's still 150 miles away) dealer's part
counter only wants to quote price for his shop doing the job and not
tell us the difference between the red, green and white bearing shells
to help us buy the right ones.

Anybody here know these bikes or know someone who does who'd be
willing to talk to us about it?

Thank you.
