You can uncross your fingers now. Just got it home. By 'eck, those TorqMonsters make it sound more sporty than it is. A proper six-pot howl at peak torque revs and above. "Front brake pads not tested" on the yellow slip. Can't see them without taking off the disc covers, and you're not allowed to dismantle the bike while testing. This is its eleventh MOT (fifth from the same place) and the first time it's been noted. They *did* test the brakes, though.

Looking at the dismantled one, it looks like he slider bushing has slid over(outside) the damper bushing, and is catching under the lip below the seal. I've got my eye on a set on Ebay, which could be a useful safety net for the future.

The bushings must both be worn pretty thin for that to happen. |
