No worries..... I missed a smiley out of my post that would have made it clearer that I have that kind of luck as well :kiss:

When I changed the bearing on my burger front wheel I got replacements from Redcar motorcycles in leicester, They supplied me with alternate SKF bearings with better seals on both sides of the bearing. Its normally the left hand bearing that goes first (the originals are only sealed on one side). cheaper too.............theyre on the internet.Eric

cheers, eric!

it wasn't as bad tonight as it was this morning, but i'm now thinking it may be the compressor, as suggested. i'll keep this updated, as to how i get on.

Mine was quiet today, did about 150 miles, now in to second part of running in, braking hard and cornering faster. Grin on face increasing. Love the overdrive, 11.9 miles/litre over the distance of 350miles. I got a new leather jacket from Get Geared in Leatherhead and I even managed to put my crash helmet under the seat at the same time, at my Newlands cafe stop.
Engine has now loosened up and pick up is smoother.
All in all a great scoot.
