Hi just noticed my 15 plate rr has a split in it !! Is it meant to be there ? Just looked at some bikes for sale on auto trader and can?t see one with it!!

Sounds like its over tightened and cracked.
There are replacement titanium versions out there if you want a little bling upgrade.

I think I have seen one previously.

It may have been tightened due to worn headstock bearings. Should not be split.

Sorry I meant top yoke yeah no 11 is the kiddy the bikes done 6k and I?ve had it a year and never touched it!! It?s a bit shit for a premium bike ! It looked like it was meant to be there that was the funniest bit . Hope fully it won?t fall off Wednesday at the track illeak: thanks for the replies

they do up tight about 120nm from memory so probably worth dooing if you get a minute, worth loosening pinch bolts first
