try to find out what caused it as well so it does not happen again. maybe get some bracing over the cracks. It looks like a stress crack caused by the lugs holding the top of the shock
Looks like a 2009 colour scheme, in 2010 scheme changed to black I think. Also the earlier bikes had a band back break, the disc is a later model feature
Yes, but a better more compact option might be a co2 pump. There is a small cost for cartridges but it is less than a dollar a piece if bought in 20's,
I disagree with the "gadget for gadgets sake" comment, it is a very useful part that the manufacturers would do well to install from the start as surely more oil capacity is a plus. Also the leaking because of poor breather positioning is fixed with this relatively cheap accessory
In the interest of getting the bike running, why not just file a little off the plate itself rather than modding the case. It looks like it would only take a little filing to get it in place. I know it is supposed to fit but the alternative is to wait for a replacement that may end up having the same issue anyway
Ah!......sounds familiar, I put 10 mm risers on mine and felt much more comfy, more upright and balanced.
If your bars are like in your profile pic they look to only be a little further than I have mine so risers and a little turn back may make all the difference
You need to throw your leg over one to see for yourself, the first ossa I had I knew it was for me the moment I got on it, I didn't think the pegs were too high or together front too low, it just felt right to me, and very light, so much so that I bought a new 2013 factory model which is the dogs b****cks
I think the term "spanner wrench" is confusing us, as a spanner and a wrench are the same thing depending on which country you are in......explain please!
I will dived in here as I have had two ossa's myself, the first a 2011 model that certainly had some starting issues that were eventually addressed between the updated maps and the easy start system. I also heard that some early bikes had gearbox issues but I never had any problem mechanically or otherwise with my 2011. I like the bike so much that I traded up to a 2013 Factory R last year. I am in Canada and am fortunate enough to have the importer less than an hour away so spares are generally not an issue for me. Trials tribulations in Church Stretton I believe are relatively close to you and are fantastic to deal with, I am in Canada and they have shipped parts to me very quickly. They also seem to have a very extensive stock of parts as can be witnessed on their website. LIke most modern bikes the spare parts can be quite expensive depending on what you break, I don't thnk the plastics are outrageous, in fact I think the most overpriced part I have seen is the gear change lever, although the one for a gas gas pro is a direct fit at half the price so there are options. IN my opinion the good outweigh the bad, I would buy another.
JSP on here has also had two ossa's so would be another candidate to give you an opinion.
I will sit back now and wait for the naysayers......cue: dabster and Eddie Lejeune
I would guess less than 100 quid, trialstribulations.net have all the kit necessary
Alternatively you could also just buy the rear bendy mudguard which is a direct bolt on fit with no modification, although I like the look of the new seat base/mudguard better than the old look.

Yes, oil splashing around the gearbox and a little gearbox pressure forcing a little into the tube
