hi everyone - little update.
I took the rear wheel off - defo not the bearings or the cush drive - there is no slop[ in either.
Checked the front sprocket - no play either.
was about to put it all back together when I pulled on the swingarm - DONK.
I think it is the swingarm bearings, there is a good 5mm of lateral and vertical play - but only when pulled to the chain side - obviously ran the chain too tight at some point and goosed the bearings.
Anyone done the swingarm bearings? Tricky job?
