Re: [ST] Wobbly wheel

["Bill and Julie Wilkin" <bandjwilkin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

G'day All,
    Thanks Sheep Dawg,  Ooo-er, missus! Indeed!!
"Something to check is that the rear wheel retaining nut (the 46mm one) is
tight. If not, you'll get the symptoms you describe as the hub rocks on the
splines.  "
Which side nut should i check as both are 46mm, i checked the muffler side
one and it's tight, the other side one is locked in place with a crimp and i
didn't want to disturb if i didn't have to. Please advise. Out of interest i
thought i'd check the extent of this "free play". If you imagine the wheel
as a clock face........when i place my hands in the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock
positions theres a slight amount of play, 11 o'clock and 5 o'clock it's
worse, 10 and 4 o'clock its decreaseing, at 1 and 7 o'clock it's decreasing,
at 9 and 3 o'clock theres no movement!! Bloody unusual behaviour but maybe
someone can make sense of it!
Seriously which is the better manual to get?
Thanks
