But because of all the weather we are having and about to have all the part time riders are getting their bikes seviced and M.O.T'd so the gargae is booked up for the next two weeks :sad1:.

That is proper poor for a bike to have faulty head bearings at 6 months old. I may be wrong but I think when a bike arrives at a dealer its the dealer that builds them up and possibly did not grease them up enough. I noticed when I picked my bike up there was loads of grease around the head and wheel bearings pivots. I was very happy to see this as at least I knew it had been done.

Glad its identified as a defective bearing and you can be safe in the knowledge that the Distanzias were not the cause. Avons rock! Roll on my set when my tyre wear out!!! :040:

Just cant wait to get my bike back to how it was, it seems so long ago now, as it started not long after I fitted my distanzias.

The best bit was when they rode up and down in front of the shop and I could hear my CCC's as every one else hears them. They sound so much better than when you hear them while riding.
