Hi there!
Since winter is here for stay I decided to do a little maintenance on the bike. I have taken the swing arm/ drive shaft off to check if everything was ok.
Very easy job. Found a lot of grease in bearings. Cool.
-First I notice a bit of rust on the rear end of the drive shaft . I recoat the entire shaft with a thin coat of grease before putting back in.
-secundo: I notice a small slack in the swing arm from left to right (with the wheel off) but seems tight with everything in place.
I have check the dust covers, the right hand side shim, bearings... everything looks fine to me! So After cleaning and regrease everything I decided to put the swing arm in place without changing any parts.

Now I just wondering if anybody done this and found a little slack in the swing arm? Am I right or will have to change something?!
Thanks!72249805-6EA5-4585-A7E9-E3F7592BABC3.jpegB342BF0F-CB20-45AC-ACD5-30C91556C6B7.jpeg9BEF9823-4D93-4B87-B7DC-63CBD33327EB.jpeg42EC4146-4A8E-4BAA-9673-CA80E3D36D89.jpeg72249805-6EA5-4585-A7E9-E3F7592BABC3.jpegB342BF0F-CB20-45AC-ACD5-30C91556C6B7.jpeg9BEF9823-4D93-4B87-B7DC-63CBD33327EB.jpeg42EC4146-4A8E-4BAA-9673-CA80E3D36D89.jpeg

I just put mine back on yesterday. Greased everything up, used Honda moly 60 on the u joint splines.
Installed the wheel before tightening the rear drive to the swingarm to make sure the alignment is correct.
Didn't notice any play with wheel on or off.
