I bet I can guess who said 'slipped liner'.. a Coventry company may be.... I tend to think it's slight piston slap / small ends.... nothing to worry about as at least 75% of the 500's do it... some from new... others can start afer as little as 15K miles... some at 75K still don't? If you hear some other engines they can also sond like this.. the Ducati I once had was similar... but was fine... and ever listerned to a speed 6 unit... No.. it will be fine.. get it sold!!

Probably not who you're thinking of  you're about 30 miles too far east.

I was suggested to me by 'you know who'... and I thought it a strange call?.... Does this 'other' places / person have evidance of this... and have they cured it by replacing the liners?

No hard evidence, but a best guess. Also said it could be cam, followers, timing chain etc but no way of telling till they dive into the engine which is where the costs start, minimum 2k for a look around!!!

Don't bother.. it's not a liner.. they make a huge noise when they slip according to 'others' whos had them go....
A case of TADTS I guess....
