Ok the sight glass is there! It is in the front of the motor (on the side) and in the above pic has a vent line running across it. It is not the traditional looking sight glass we are use to seeing on the imports. |

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but except for a comment about the oil capacity increase I haven't seen anything about the other dimensional changes from the '09 to the '010.
1. The overall length has increased from 1996 mm to 2040 mm; which is 44 mm LONGER (1-3/4"). And I expect that measurement is taken at the tyres as they project beyond the bodywork
2. But the wheelbase has SHORTENED by 13mm (1/2"). A wheelbase INCREASE w/b one way to increase overall length (if length measurement is taken at the tyres), but it's gone the opposite way
3. And the drive belt stays the same (both are 145 tooth with 14mm pitch) in '010 as in '09, which would seem incompatible with a wheelbase INCREASE
Of course there are answers for all this, which is why I ask. I wouldn't think the noted change to a new rear swingarm would be the reason as the bike is now LONGER, the wheelbase is SHORTER, and the drive belt is the same
Clear this up for me / us! |

One thing you 1125 guys may not have heard about, an Anony post over on the BB&D forum says both the new Uly's and 1125's have larger rear wheel bearings, and added a third bearing as well. The rear axle appears to be anodized black which should protect it from the corrosion a lot of us have found when removing the rear wheel.
I haven't read about too many rear wheel bearing failures on 1125's, but they've been fairly common on Uly's. The new setup seems like a pretty big improvement for both bikes.
