Its my first post so not quite sure of protocol .I have been looking in at this topic for a while. I was very concerned when I saw Pete Ropers comments regarding his conversation with Haywards of cambridge as when the cam failed on my 2010 NTX A8 Series motor in August 2011 it was Haywards who did the warranty work. Pete states'' that on every engine that the cams go tits up the oil pump needed replacement '' I am sorry but pete has been miss informed. I emailed Ed the workshop manage at Haywards yesterday his reply to my email was this
''Hi keith
Every cam job we have carried out the oil pump has been striped and checked.
If deemed necessary then the pump has been replaced, as your cams had worn a small amount compared to most this protocol was followed and the pump was checked and was deemed in fine working order.
Each bike has a pressure test carried out on it after the cams have been replaced and it is quite obvious if the pump is working correctly and efficently.
We would not release your bike if we were not 100% happy with the complete engine performance and all components.''
Obviously some cams have failed due to faulty oil pumps but not in all cases .I noticed my engine started to run rough within a few hundred miles of it being serviced and got Haywards to collect it where they found the cams starting to fail
Regards keith
Yes. I obviously mis-understood. No, Haywards are one of if not the most reputable dealers in the UK. Why would they return your bike if they weren't happy with it? Thing is they DID inspect the pum and on our case found it OK.
If you want people to share information so we can try and get to the bottom of this I can think of no better way to piss people off and get them to clam up than running shrieking to them based on a well meaning but incorrect statement from anotherwell meaning mechanic on an internet board. Jesus! Thanks Mate!!!!
