rear sprocket

Just fitting a new rear  sprocket and it seems a lot of play Not much rotational just a little bit of movement within the bolt holes of the sprocket The bushings seem ok But lateral play there is at least 1/8" old money Is this the norm ???    Also the rear spindle The PO has put it with the nut on the sprocket side Looking in the parts catalogue thats right   Yet in the service manual shows nut on brake side which i believe to be correct Your thoughts appreciated Cheers Ross

Nurse Julie:
Nut on brake side because to remove the rear wheel, you would have to remove exhaust to get the spindle out if it was on 'tother side. I have a little lateral play on my rear sprocket as well (Thinner pattern part). Both wheel spacers are different sizes, make sure you get the correct one on the correct side. The longer of the 2 goes on the brake side.

Moorey:
If you look in the Honda manual it shows the nut on the sprocket side . If the swing arm has open fork ends then it makes no difference which way the spindle is in as it doesn't have to be removed to take the rear wheel out.

Nurse Julie:
Bloody weird....I have just looked at my CB400/4 (standard closed end swing arm) and my nut is on the sprocket side but, I can still get my spindle out as I have a standard exhaust system fitted and there is enough clearance over the silencer to pull the spindle out with the exhaust still fitted. My shocks are also standard length, anything shorter than standard, I don't think there would be enough clearance to pull the spindle through.

Nurse Julie:
I'm just wondering if the shop manual, being combined general 350/400, (but with the 400 supplement at the back) shows the 350 set up which has the 4 into 4 exhaust 🤔. Does the 350 have an open end swing arm? Also just noticed that if I put my 400 on the center stand, then I can't get the spindle out as not enough clearance over the silencer 😪
