Went out last week and I got an estimated 45 miles before switching to the main tank reserve. I think that I would still have had 0.5 litre in the main tank reserve plus nearly the same in the small additional tank. Not a problem but not as good as the Serow. The bike was a pleasure to ride although the seat is less comfortable than a Norton Wideline but my clutch hand was still fine so perhaps the change will be positive. However;
Looking for Hen's teeth now
Slightly before going on to reserve I heard a noise from the rear wheel
The previous owner had mentioned that he had recently replaced the rear wheel bearings as they had failed and he had made a temporary bearing distance piece which I would be best to replace. Wait, your reading faster than I can type. The noise got progressively worse as I gently made my way home, when I finally raised the bike and pulled out the axle shaft what was left of the bearings fell out. Upon examination of the hub it is clear that in fact it is damaged and the centre pop marks have not held the bearings in place so this is where the hen's teeth comes in.Does anybody out there have a serviceable rear hub/wheel to sell please
Motomerlin and Richard Allen are looking for me as well.Alternatively, has anybody had a similar failure and found that parts from an alternative model can be made to fit
TTFN
Hugh.
