(my) Manual(s) only states [use thread lock cement when installing the bearing retainer], no torque setting though...

Having said which, I will put my hand up to performing something similar in my youth, bike on centre stand (on tarmac surface), mate leaning on rear carrier so I could remove front wheel, wheel out and let bike gently pivot forwards to rest on fork legs. NAH!!! Rolls off stand and hits the deck. Fortunately only cosmetic damage. Nowadays always keep a good stock of wooden blocks and ratchet straps. Stay safe.Mike.

Yes but clamp should have been tighter - me pulling on the wheel instead of the clamp unit was the primary cause. The straps I have used were starting to get out of position as I worked on the bike.

Put a ratchet strap on the centre stand with the other end on the lower fork triple crown, tighten reasonably and the stand will never fold up. ;D

I attach a photo as it makes it clear where the play is coming from. Looks like wear on the washer and large circlip. Wondered if yours might be similar. Do people shim these washers?

Put some washers behind the sprocket so it sits further out?

Would it not be better to fit a thicker washer behind the circlip so it does not affect the fit of the bolt lugs in the drive rubbers?

Yes, I think fitting washers would work, it didn't occur to me to do it that way. AFAIK the sprocket is original or at least a genuine replacement, Bike has 38,000 miles recorded.

Shouldn't affect the positioning or fitting or the lugs into the rubbers, fit the washers between the sprocket and the lug, that won't affect anything except to move the sprocket a little further out.

Could this movement be deliberate to ensure the drive spr
ockets are in line when the chain is fitted or am I thinking engineering nonesense?
