Broken valve spring on ST3

My ST3 is in for its two year service at the moment. I have just received a phone call saying one of the valve springs has a piece broken off!!! This is one of the exhaust springs that was replaced as part of a recall. The mechanic has assured me that they will find the broken piece, hopefully on the magnet in the sump. Otherwise it is a full strip down. Apparently the piece is of hardened steel and is big enough to have seized the gearbox.

At least all works will be done under guarantee. My guess will be that it will remain in the shop for a week or two.

But I am not impressed.

At least they gave me a loaner bike and I have the 998 at home.
