Wiggle the splined shaft as well to make sure the twin bearing the front sprocket shaft sits on has no lateral movement. In and out is okay though..........(ooer)

Thanks mate, I’m more than happy to give anything a wiggle before I pay for it. 😂

Don’t let it go to your head, when I had the Transalp I read so much about the output shaft I was wiggling it every month, and almost murdered a mechanic when he said he was going to tighten the chain a little bit :classic_laugh:

Transalps were never as bad as the Africa Twins though

My grandmother has a saying, inspired in the way a chicken offers her rear upwards when it's sexy time, "tão puta como uma galinha", which translates to "as much of a whore as a chicken".

It sounds dirtier in Portuguese :classic_laugh:

yeah I heard about it a lot too when I had the transalp, that and anodised wheels rotting from the inside out.  I never had any problem with it though and it was 26 years old when I sold it, though to be fair I never made a point of looking for problems...

Is that @Buckster in his Lycra bringing up the rear?

You are obsessed with the thought of me in Lycra, you may as well just buy a scooter and offer your arse to the next dago midget you find.
