I bought a W650 and hadn't ridden the 350 Bullet for over two years until last March when I gave the bike a service. It started first kick and I set off down the road. Less than half a mile from home the front tyre blew out (no drama). I pushed home, put the bike in the garage under a sheet and there it stayed for the next 5 months except for battery maintenance. Today I removed the wheel, fitted a new tyre and tube and put the wheel back in. I was putting my tools away when I saw the distance collar lying on the floor. It goes back before the brake plate. So I took the wheel off again, fitted the distance collar and put the wheel back in. I was tidying away when my wife brought me a coffee and asked, "Is that anything important?" "That" was the big felt washer that goes back before the distance collar. So, off came the wheel for the third time. By the third time, I could remove and refit the front wheel in under five minutes, just like I used to. And I remembered the parts that fall off and roll away, just like I used to. But after a test ride - Oh! - the sound! The smell of the hot cast iron back in the garage! The bullet gets a fair crack of the whip from now on.
