If you sit on it, surely the tyre will bulge at the bottom, not at the side where it'd rub the casing :?

deform and send that bulge around the whole tyre.......
But not if you're stationary ;)

That's quite a chunk taken out :shock: How thick are the casings there, I would think that's a weak point, on that engine at least?

Thanks for this i had a look this morning there is a faint polished line on the engine case and a small mark on the tyre where the clutch arm is, so after xmas i will have a go at spaceing it if that dont work 3.50/10 it is ;)

merry xmas Al
