Fred, no discernible movement, maybe 1 mm.

Fred, after those klms you would be justified in jacking up the mirrors & driving a new bike under there.
I will measure the lash this morning. Wiz.

Mate,

while you've got the drive line apart, could you do me a favour and grab the drive shaft at the front and while it is still connected to the diff turn it gently left and right and let me know how much free play there is from extreme left to extreme right  before it engages and starts to turn the diff.

I ask as there are no specs and I have a fair bit of lash and this I think loosened the torqued, self locking nut on the middle gearcase and consequently blew out the oil seal for the second time.

I'm hoping that there should be a fair bit of lash allowable for the cush drive and not warrant a driveline rebuild after a mere 337,000klm. I did a full middle gearcase rebuild two years ago but the rest of the driveline was OK at that stage.

Seat pan has a bit of metal worm & the cover tabs were gone, so I drilled what solid metal was there & inserted some brass tacks, held them in place with masking tape, then used GRP tape & resin, on the inside.

Cute shape though, Peter, I'm getting the cases chromed.
Jonesy, it's an 81 standard (H), it would be good to have some history, but I don't. ;o(

G,day wiz.
what model/year is your bike? Just noticed your tacho has X1000rpm written on it. In "general discussion"  section topic "know your product" I was trying to find out what that style of tacho was off. And I see your speedo is imperial and metric.....got any history on that? I have one the same but know very little about it.
