The sprocket carrier can move radially without the wheel hub moving. There is also play in the SC bearing.
I don't think Yamaha will give me any joy, as rubbers are sacraficial/wearing parts so it is expected, so I'll not even ask. I don't like rocking the boat....

At the last tyre change I had noticed a 'flaking' of the rubbers, it maybe worth you guys keeping tabs on yours.

I'll do a change on them next week and let you know. It will have new bearing fitted also whilst I'm there.

Right, I'm off to Liverpool for a pint or two......
