[ST] Wobbly wheel

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

G'Day All,
    Went for a short blast on the weekend and to my surprise the handling is
going funny again, after all the stuffing around with the suspension
settings, which are still in the same position!! I've got the slight wobble
from the rear again!! To recap the rear end gives a slight wobble when
entering corners and somtimes the bike trys to tip into the corner when i
open the throttle mid corner (intersections etc) the bike feels very stable
and handles well at high speeds and when the pillion is on the back, this
problem occures up to 110 kms (65mph) with just me aboard. So this evening
i've been going over the bike and found the rear wheel bearings are loose!
Theres probably 1mm play at the rim, my guess is that this is where the
problem is coming from. I've checked stem, front wheel and swing arm
bearings as well and they're ok.
So....can any of you guys tell me what the procedure is for removing and
installing new rear wheel bearings, any tips tricks etc. I really must get a
repair manual for this bike, which is the best one, the Triumph or the
Haynes?
Thanks in advance
