agreed!!
Manufacturers have a responsibility regardless of the warranty period (fit for purpose) which you could argue that the bike has been used solely for the purpose that it was designed for. for a MAJOR part to fail within just a relatively short period of time points to the fact that there was an inherrent fault.
I would try the Citizens advice first :
You discover the fault more than six months after you bought the car If you discover the fault more than six months after you bought the car, it is up to you to provide evidence that it was faulty when you bought it. You can do this by getting an independent expert’s report into the car’s condition.
I know it states "car" but this applies to all vehicles.
