Hmm, I know the bikes had a right side off in the past, the clutch cover is scratched.

So yeah aftermarket. Anyway, took the bike for a spin, on the advice of my dad's gf's son who's a motorbike mechanic.

He said to see if it eases off at all with a ride, if not it would determine if one or both calipers were sticking by checking if they were hot etc.

So far the left disc was a little warm after 4 miles. Then rode 4 miles back home and both the discs were cold.

So I think I'll keep an eye on it for now.

Open to advice still though!

And also, the ride was fucking awesome :grin:

Even though it was just 50mph and I didn't get further than 4th, it was amazing :grin:

Definately bought the right bike :rocks:
