CARC Check

I dunno. Guess I'm losin it.When I pulled that rear end there was definite side to side 1/8 inch play and maybe 1/16th up and down.At least three times I checked it before I put it back together. Had a callback from Don at Riverside and they have now had three technicians looking at it and can detect no discernible play. Just the leaking seal. So, OK. That's good news. But what happened between me putting it back together and them pulling it apart?
Guess I need to find some new drugs. Better still I should have filmed it. But, I swear.....
Wait a minute. It's HER! It's that lousy, no good Italian whore. Big Gal. She's screwing with me again. Ya, that's it! :woohoo:

How tired were you when you got to checking for shaft play?
 
Lets just get this right.

You are talking about the shaft that comes out of the gearbox, the bit that is attached to the back of the engine with a clutch in a bell housing in between, yes? You are not talking about the component the rear wheel bolts to?

That's funny. Just what I said to the tech, pete. Yes, that's what I'm talking about and that's what they are talking about. The output shaft that I had moving around is now mysteriously steady. Some magical thing happened between my reassembly and their disassembly.
 
Bike's back, seal replaced, everything SWEEEET!..again. Weather around here is heating up and so are the gas prices. Paid a phenom price for a tank fill today. $39. That's 25 liters at $1.52 a liter. Ouch. Just glad it wasn't the Monster Truck. :p
