250 Etec Flywheel Rub.
Just checked my Etec and noticed that the flywheel has worn some of the insulation under the cowl away. This must be a design fault as it's impossible to incorrectly fit the cowl. Any others noticed the same?

Is it wearing the insulation at only one particular point or like a circular bite? I found my little etec's flywheel a bit off-balanced although never had that kinda problem.

They'll sort that out for you at the 3 year service.
