sprocket carrier

[jayce]

hi just bought a 2006 blaster when washing it i noticed the sprocket carrier is loose ,it moves 5 mm up & down and 3mm side to side is this ok or should i undo the 2 axel nuts and tighten the inside then the outside cheers for any advise

if its moving up and down that much, you need to pull it off and inspect it. sounds like its worn out, it probably needs axle carrier bearings as well.

i slackened off the outside bolt and tightened up the inside bolt and it was quite slack ,so ive tightened it and all seems fine ,cheers
