This is a hard decision so I need sound advice!
I'm thinking of selling my 2021 PA after a string of issues and mounting repair costs.
It's already out of warranty and I'm not sure if maintaining it long-term will just incur more expenses!
Anyone here knowns how much a total replacement for a new engine would cost?
That will be a major consideration for me to sell or keep my bike.
Any other info or insight would be helpful!
 
I totally get where you're coming from, engine swaps can run $5K–$8K easy. If problems keep stacking, selling might save you in the long run

The engine's already giving out and you're out of warranty, don't throw good money after bad. A new engine swap could easily run you upwards of $6K–$8K, maybe more with labor, and that's not counting whatever else might come up later so look unless you're emotionally attached or have plans to mod it heavily, I'd cut losses and move on while it still has resale value.
 
A buddy of mine faced a similar situation with his 2020 model. He waited too long, thinking it would eventually become reliable. In the end, he ended up spending more on patchwork repairs than it would've cost to just replace it. He ended up selling it for way less than he could have just a few months before.
