Hiya guys. I'm going to try get the Thread back up. I did delete it but I actually didn't mean to. Also Having real trouble finding the forum too. The community tab has gone and I have to google search Enfield motorcycles community to get to the forum.
I'm gonna give the distributor a call and see if there's anything they can do. I'm kinda stuffed really. I'd easily put the damage at about 5000+ to be repaired. More than the bikes worth so really it's written off in my mind. On top of that I'm paying it off monthly for 2 more years.
What happened? It came out nowhere. It seems like a seal went , then a chain reaction leading to a stuffed bearing which damaged the casing. The stuffed casing in the problem. I don't really care about the bearing as such, but I'm blown away by the quality of the casing. When you see how brittle it is, it reminds me of a lot of the metal used on this bike. Poor quality.
The best thing about being an Enfield owner was this forum. Without it life would have been much harder!
I thank you all for your input that helped me understand the system.
Anyway. I'm bike less now. There'll be no getting that bike back on the road. I'll be giving away a lot of stuff, bazooka for one etc, so stay tuned.
