Rear wheel bearings

[pawl]

I've just noticed that there is a small amount of movement on the rear wheel bearings . Is this normal on a 650 dl .

I'd guess no........ 

Have you taken the wheel off or have you found the wheel moves on the axle? Get it checked if you're not 'mechanical', so to speak. It would be replace both wheel bearings and the sprocket carrier bearing too. Not expensive though.

Thanks that's what I thought .
