Just got mine done on Monday. Wasnt due untill July but I'll be away when it's due and I was at the garage with the Missus and her bike so both bikes got tested.
Failed on shot rear wheelbearings, not a fiddle by the tester - he showed me the play in the wheel. He lent me a spanner to whip the rear wheel out and then he supplied and fitted the new bearings for �15. The failed bearing was on the brake disc side - you could see the rust on the inside of the outer seal once the seal was off. The bike's only done 15k miles, all I can think of is that I've done one or two deep fords so the water probably got in then. No big deal really as they were replaced in about 15minutes and at a very reasonable cost.
