1150GS.

I removed the paralever (as I pulled the shocks to get them serviced) and check all parts of the drive train.

Re-assembling now and the bearings in the paralever at the forward end where it connects to the frame feel fine, rotate smoothly, no notching - really good, however the inner race of both bearings has movement in and out (inboard / outboard).
I know that to re-assemble, install the bolt type pin (right hand side) first to specified torque and then the the pin with the nut on it, (left side) is done taking up the play.

Or, are the bearings buggered?

Thanks
 
There will be no play once you you reassemble, the pin with the lock nut on is used to adjust and remove any sideways movement.
Pack the bearings with as much grease as you can get in.
