After studying the exploded parts manual it looks like the oil pump in the UCE is being driven by a normal spur gear on the crankshaft (as it should be) rather than the worm gear system used on some of the older bikes.
Has anyone been inside their engine to see if I am right?
I mention it because the worm gear system used on some RE's has had failures over the years, typically with the driving worm gear eating the teeth off of the driven gear shaft.. This doesn't surprise me greatly .
Anyway, the presence of the worm drive system was a concern to me and if I am correct in saying that the worm system
is not used in the new UCE I will be an even happier camper.
Anyone have any information about this?
