Hey all, my bike went into Williams Manchester just before Xmas to have the starter relay replaced (for the second time) plus the RHS switchgear and after giving me back the bike the tech informed that they had done a health check on the bike and found there to be play in the rear wheel.

They explained (and I might get this wrong) that it was up and down play not side to side so their suspicion was something inside the actual hub/final drive. They told me it's not dangerous but it needs investigating ASAP. They also said this is something seen across the shaft drive range but they've personally never seen it on a 1300 and wouldn't expect to see it on a bike with such low mileage, in my case 9000 miles.

Just wondered if anyone else has had similar? I'm sure it'll be handled smoothly under warranty so I'm not overly concerned.
