I'm gonna use that in Mondays production meeting !!
Impressive mileage in 6 weeks...good man!
Super glue will sort it, it's very good with rubber, (and skin) until you get it fixed properly.

It gets caught in the drive shaft universal joint as it turns if your unlucky and it gets pinched when the joint is on an angle gripping the rubber and as it continues to turn it rips a hole.
May happen if you have the suspension set for two up but ride it solo as the joint is on an extreme angle.

Hey! when did the auto censor kick in? I actually typed c.u.n.t.s and it turned into *****

I've offered a solution and just for you here it is again: If you don't like it then get rid of it!
The world is full of whingers who want to know what's going to happen when the warranty runs out and who can I blame/seek compensation from?
The OP has the right attitude

I will tell the dealer, as the bike should robust enough to handle more than me forgetting to switch a switch!
I so hate that expression

Quite right ..... honesty is the best policy
Probably just vandalism by a jealous 1150 owner 
- no technical reason for it to happen.

And I don't understand the justification of the term.

I'm not sure where this myth started that the final drive won't take the two up setting with only one rider. Surely the enduro mode jacks the suspension right up but you are not expected to carry a pillion then.
That's true, but it's still getting pinched in the universal joint. Turn your wheel while holding your finger on the rubber boot you will feel the joint closing and gaping.
Another point is if you happened to go off a jump or the bike lifts over undulations in the road the swing arm will drop allowing full clearance so could possibly catch in the joint then too,
Either way it shouldnt be able to happen, so should be a warranty issue any way.
Perhaps a thicker boot is needed

How did you find this out Terry ...... Did the dealer tell you or was it via work?
