| If we're talking about a batch of faulty parts there is an explanation. The way the factory works, it builds certain numbers of bikes at a time. One possibilty is that it was 'UK 749' day at the factory. They were building Darks, Bips and Ss for the UK market and during that time the pallet/box/crate of faulty parts is delivered to the assembly line. As the bikes are built it's a random call as to which bike gets a faulty part. For example, mine seems to have get a faulty RHS calliper but necroscope has got a faulty LHS and RHS.
It's probably a small number of bikes that have been affected, but 3 on this site makes it relatively common.
As far as I'm aware, all 749/999 models use the same braking setup except the 'R' models have the radial callipers. I think they all use the same master cylinder and discs? |
