Ok, a mates 2015 blew the bendix apart and cracked the main cover slightly. I got the cover welded by my weldy guy. A bit of gear tooth got jammed and caused the crack.

But the initial problem is this; the outer cover there is a plain drilling in ally that a steel shaft spins in unlubricated. As you can see it has ovalise, and pushing the shaft away got some angle and boom. Zoom in and you'll see.

So I've made a big to hold it straight and will bore, fit a thin 8mm x 6mm ID bush. It's pretty thin but with care should be fine.

Part 2. Bike shop he bought it from experiments with blocking the drain hole in lower cover and running a small amount of fork oil in there, enough of a puddle to get dragged around by flywheel and lubricate things. We'll be trying that.
