or was that kilos
I took my 1150 into Allan Jefferies on Sunday & had a play on their new 1200 for half an hour, or so. Dan, their techie took it off the front of the forecourt & checked the FD. The bearing has definitely packed up & gone home so I'm pleased it was nothing further forward, like the gearbox. The rumble had got steadily worse as I rode from Preston to Shipley & I found that it was smoother as I went faster (sorry officer 
). Fortunately, there is no further damage to the crown wheel or pinion from the swarf, which I was worried about.

As I'm not a sponsor I can't start a poll, but I think it would be a good idea to have one on rear end troubles...
eg problems with:
1) splines
2) bearings
3) whatever else ya fancy.
any takers?
