[m1keyp]

Thanks to everyone who replied to my earlier post about my 748.

unfortunately the saga continues and the longer it takes to fix the more concerned I am about the long term.

The big end bearing failed at 5700 miles, no one at the dealers appears willing or able to tell me why, but from what I have managed to find out its possible that a grub screw worked loose and I think that you can guess the rest.

Please can someone let me know if they have had similar, should this grubscrew not be "loctited" at the factory.

Is this a design fault.

Thanks M
