Over the last couple of thousand miles, I'd noticed a knock develop when riding over bumps. This was felt through the footpegs... It felt like the centre stand was bouncing, or something was loose. All seemed in order, so I thought I'd investigate the shaft.
I've dropped the final drive out of the way to expose the rear uj. The shaft is free of corrosion and feels smooth to rotate. However, when I pull it back and forth (yes), there is a couple of mm of "in and out" play coming from the gearbox end. This play is accompanied by the familiar knock.
Should there be "in and out"play between the gearbox output and shaft?
Thanks in advance.
I recorded a video but not sure how to upload.
