So YC has had a peek, and should be easy to rectify with a different sort of hose.

That ain't too bad, a hose swap is nothing too expensive.

I think i mite get the fast bikes mag seems like a good buy this month!

Credit where it's due though, the dealer sent a mechanic out within the hour to fix it, but I nearly sh@t myself at the thought of what could have happened.

That is quite worrying, wtf was they even touching that for during its first service.

^ maybe checking for play in head bearings

Hmmm, that's not too good. At least the dealer is sorting it with no quibble. It might be worth finding out what is supposed to have been done during the PDI and first service and just go round the bike rechecking those things for yourself. When I learned to service the bike, I found things that are on the schedule that a very reputable main dealer had never touched. Just 'cos it's a main dealer and charges a lot of money, doesn't necessarily mean that the staff are careful or competent.

Update...
Dealer rang me today, part is in so booked in for wednesday next week.
Woman asked me if i wanna wait or take a bike out while its being done, only got cruisers available though she thinks, but one of them was the 1600cc something or other, cant remember, so may have a big fat bimble on one of them lol
