i can believe its the adapter and/or engine movement.

if its only the adapter, then the problem could be something that just happens over time with added stress from the kit/adapter.

if its a combination, cusco/perrin/etc. engine mounts might alleviate some of the stress, and maybe it won't happen again.

hopefully it doesn't go out again, but if it does, it probably won't be for a while. either way if it does happen again, and is more frequent than bearing failure on non-SC twins, it might be a useful consideration for other owners in terms of additional maintenance.

out of curiosity, how many miles/how long have you had your kit?
