I have read many posts related to the failure of the gearbox inner layshaft bearing and what I still don't know is whether the failures are more common in the later model Commandos. Mine is a mid-year 1970 and I don't have any way to know whether the PO changed the bearing or not and the bike is not presenting any of the symptoms commonly reported when the bearing is starting to die. I have the mechanical skill to take the thing apart and check/replace the bearings and all the other bushings and seals. Does this fall into the "better safe than sorry" caegory?
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
