My mates final drive is playing up.... so he's wanting a new bevel box... We know a bloke whos selling a 2006 unit with low miles... I know the drain plug moved, but is everything else the same?
Thanks
Thanks
ok.. thanks.. so it would set off quicker.. bit more RPM on the top end....
It a low miles 17K unit and he want £100 for it... re-build?... no idea??
Wow... my RS had 95K on it when I sold it... still as solid as anything... these newer bikes are nothing like as well built... 17k and its bearings are toast!!... shocking
My last bike, a 2007 SC, the FD was dodgy at 12k toast at 15k.
How?.. why?... what went?... they must be better than that.... did you get it full of water / mud or something?... thats shocking!!
What's rubbish?
by 15k the FD was fecked and I had Mickeyboy rebuild it.
That they are only lasting 15K....
But to redress the balance a little ... my 2006 has done 75,000 miles and has not yet had any work on the FD other than regular oil changes. I've been intending to get it overhauled by Mikeyboy but only as a precaution, better planned maintenance than waiting for it to break!
Plus earlier FD doesn't have have a breather does it ?
Mine (08) has the later internal bearing sizes but no breather.
