Is that a case of taking the drum off is is there more to it?I suspect yours has little plastic gears that unless dissassembled, cleaned and regreased every 2 years will pick the most inopportune moment to seize solid and leave in front of a tailback with egg on your face.
Never had a problem (yet ) but tbh not used often, and checked/adjusted regularly.I suspect yours has little plastic gears that unless dissassembled, cleaned and regreased every 2 years will pick the most inopportune moment to seize solid and leave in front of a tailback with egg on your face.

How do you adjust, is that the same as 'bedding in'? Not seen anything on adjustmentEverything behind the disc is similar to any.
The main box is in the middle above/behind the axle. Not easy to get at
Properly adjusted then it should not get to the point of overwinding and jamming, my thoughts anyway.

I shall try that, What's the betting there's no rubber bung and it's all seized up?? Presume the adjustment is down to cable stretch over time, more than shoes wearingTake off the wheel remove rubber bung and waggle a flat blade screwdriver in it. As I said same as any others in that end.
Lack of adjustment and getting rid of cable slack used to mean a few more clicks on the lever. Now it involves an over winding and jamming.
Just my opinion of course

Thanks! Not sure when I'll get to it maybe next weekend if i don't do a track day, otherwise maybe weekend after.From a 2007-2010 manual (it was easier) but its the same on our 2011.
Same as any other wind it on till you cant turn it then back it off so its "just there" . You know that good old experience feel.
Otherwise you may end up with something that looks like the 1s a few days ago.

Least you've got a dipstickO-ring on dip-stick replaced. Not a bad job at all. Literally a 5 minute one and not a lot of spillage.
You have a hole you could put a stick in if you want .Least you've got a dipstick
