took my recent acquisition, a 16v k100rs to the testing station and it was picked up that the rear wheel has play in it. I'm guessing play in the bearings in the final drive?? The clymer manual write up on the back hub looks quite daunting and it appears I need to start by removing the final drive unit.
Could this simply be the ball bearing on the outside of the ring gear...is this accessible without removing the final drive by taking off the cover after removing the eight bolts round its circumference.
No obvious noise in the bearing but there is play.
Should I be removing the whole unit while I'm needing to address what seems to be a bearing issue...
