    I havent spent time (in that way) at a dealer, but at mechanics yes. I agree they fail, i am simply suggesting that the ones i have seen were replaced due to bearing failure before the VC itself locked up. The issue of locking up seems to have occurred to a few tho from the sounds.

    Cheers!

    hey all, new to the game....

    when you say "check" the VC, what do you do? I havn't yet taken the plunge with an FL but just want to know what I am letting myself in for!

    foot off the clutch.

    your listening for the siezed VC kicking the inside rear wheel round due to the difference in diff ratios the autos do it pretty well from a stand still the manuals need that little bit of motion so that youve got the engine making usable power.

    a slightly better description.

    take off easy in first gear.
    set and maintain 1000ish rpm
    crank it round to lock and then
    step on it.
