OK - so the noise was a cush drive collar just starting to touch the chain adjuster ring.

I bought a set of 5 new bushes last Thursday (having shopped around 5 dealers to find one who had any in stock!) and set about fitting them on Saturday evening, ready for Rockingham yesterday.

4 went in fine, but the 5th new bush had no allen-head in the back of it - it was totally round - and therefore couldn't be tightened in place.

Not to worry (I thought) I'll put the best of the old bushes back in and sort the odd one out after Rockingham, as it was too late to get hold of another bush before Monday.

1 session at Rockingham and old bush gave out, the collar moved out of the sprocket and the resulting swarf is stuck all around my wheel and swingarm!

Now in search on one new bush and writing to Ducati UK about the quality control of spares - and the cost of having to hire a CSS bike to finish my day yesterday due to the faulty new part...

Still, CSS is a top day and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to corner better and remove much of the fear of falling off that cornering can cause!
