Had a real good chance to look today and it's definitely a warped disc, no doubts whatsoever.... spin the wheel and "tsk tsk tsk" sound, very very gently apply brake pressure and you can feel the high spot as it travels through the pads.... you can even see it with the naked eye, a bit out of true.
Even more bad news with the bike today..... it has now randomly started to cut out (ie: will be buzzing along at full throttle let's say and then cuts out, cuts in again and then cuts out again) it is extremely annoying and this battery IMO is totally clapped out as it only holds charge for about 4 mile tops now (and it's apparantly brand new) I just don't have any confidence to go further than the village shop with it.
The diagnostic LED is still flashing 11 continuous blinks (indicates thermostat?) so I have a bike that is continuously indicating a fault, a battery that is getting weaker instead of stronger (4 cycles to date) and a warped disc..... to top all that it'll do about 4 miles, and that four miles was done today in very calm conditions on the flat, and then run flat.
Erm...... Not what I had expected at all and I'll be in touch with Lloyd at 50 cycles tomorrow about all this, I believe he tried to contact me today but I missed his call. Blimey, I hope this "is" a fault and not indicative of the actual performance / range of the bike.
The Motor also sounds pretty "grindy" and tinkly, even under no load, is this normal??
