I bought mine second hand for a very good price last October with 850 miles on the clock. Roll forward to me riding it to the Birmingham camp recently, I noticed oil mist on the primary cover (I know it's not really, but it's nearside of engine) and oil around the head to barrel joint. Cut a long story short, the head will have to be replaced which should be happening around the time I write this. I'm just glad of the 4 years warranty, but I really want to be riding it and its been away now since the 11th of May.

Well if it were an original the oil mist would be normal and you would still be riding it now!

Yes, I own a few of Small Heaths finest, but wasn't expecting it from something built in December 2022!!  ;)

Did it get fixed?
How do you find the new one c/w similar sized oldies?

I haven't got the bike back yet, but hopefully should do by the end of this coming week.  In my estimation, it's performance is comparable to my A65L but with bags more torque / much better brakes and of course the modern electric boot.  :D
