Folks,
While having the machine lifted in the rear, I noticed that each rear wheel had some lateral play, maybe .25 to .5 inches. Is this normal? If not, any ideas? It seemed that the left rear had a tad more play than the right.

Thanks.

 

Ok, how about I change the word "lifted" to jacked-I don't have any mods-straight stock machine. Is that amount of wheel play normal?

 

does the bike have an axle or IRS?
if an axle does the whole axle move or just the wheel. try tighting up the castle nut.
if IRS does the a-arms move or just the wheel. if the wheel then you need to either tighten to bearings up or if its the a-arms then they either need new bushings or a good greasing

 

thanks.
bike has IRS and i believe that it was just the wheel that was moving, might have to check again.
