Zitat von codydawg im Beitrag #76 I had over 40,000 miles on the old one and I had the opportunity to buy an 'as new' 2nd hand shaft with less than 2,000 miles at a good price. The newer shaft also vibrated much less. |

I rode the RS 50 or so miles south yesterday to Bowkers Motorrad in Preston, Lancashire. They did the footrest and cardan shaft recalls and in total it took less than 5 hours drop off to being ready to collect. They also included a bike 'health check'. |

It is. Rain, Roll, and Rock. I kept it in Rock. I have to say, with so much torque short shifting up was a bit of an addiction |

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #78 Was there any issue over 'bike mileage' versus 'shaft mileage', then, or did you just keep schtum and let them get on with it?

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #81Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #78 I decided not to complicate things by explaining that the shaft in the bike has only done a few thousand miles. I was initially going to take the older shaft in on the back of the bike. Nothing was said. I now have an older spare but it's still good. Peter |
