Just a little warning when i came back from Brands sunday (so boring thank god for the wsb) i found a large crack in the nearside engine casing.Had it recovered to a garage as they warned me not to ride it and apart from the front sprocket being loose the bolt that holds the speedo drive in place had come loose and bored its way into the engine casing and cracked it.Hopefully is being done under warranty as the garage said they have already had five like it this year.So worth taking the casing of and giving it a little check !!!!!!!!!!!!
