Good day fellows, I was riding my K12LT from Brisbane (Australia,QLD) to Kununurra (WA) in 3 days, to my new temporary workplace. It was a fantastic ride but more about my question.
I had a breakdown in the middle of nowhere,my final drive, the wheelbearing gave in, the usual split in many pieces story.
Thanks to me using a ceramic additive from Germany and my knowledge of that it can happen (thanks to the forum), it didn't chew enough from the alloy housing away to render it useless. I did have the necessary spares with me and after taking it apart to the point where the bearing had to be taken off the spline, I hitchhiked back to the last petrol station (some 40km away) and got help from a car mechanic. Together we did the job and I filled in some fullsynthethic Engine Oil and more ceramic coater and tackled the last 1900km, avoiding Kangoroos, to work.
THE QUESTION:
when I move the final drive, left and right, it has got a very very little play, not a milimeter, as I said, very little. Might this be the play that results from having the link on the shaft?
Kind regards
Patrik
