Hi John,

Your thanks are appreciated but before doing anything drastic have a read through this thread as not all agree with me. The decision is yours to make :thumbsup:

Hmm, possibly they're not adequately run-in. Also once run-in it's always worth giving a once over/minor service like checking and re-aligning pick-ups if necessary, checking and adjusting BtBs if necessary, lubricating if necessary, etc.
