Re: Oswestry looking dubious - weave!!!

Yep, it'll have the once over on Wednesday evening and hopefully we'll at least know what it is.

Re: Oswestry looking dubious - weave!!!

Okay so Kev and Bill have just left. Bike is on the lift with exhaust off.

Checks on the front end all seem okay. However...

There is clearly play in the rear wheel bearing and the swing arm bearings.

We are a little perplexed as this is a bike with only 10,000 miles genuine miles and a history to prove it.

I'm calling Lindon at Grizzly's tomorrow to take his view and ask how much to put it right.

Any thoughts?

Re: Oswestry looking dubious - weave!!!

My friend newer had to prove that. He must have been lucky.

Maybe it has done more than 10K John. Or the grease may have been pressure washed out at some time.

Just bad luck. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Re: Oswestry looking dubious - weave!!!

I've just said it has only done 10k. You can see from the genuine and up to date history and the condition of the bike...

Re: Oswestry looking dubious - weave!!!

Sorry. Its a mystery then. Maybe just unusual wear. I am sure they will sort it for you. You could always take the sporty out until its fixed.
