    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is This Normal?

It looks like the nut is loose, so yes, that's normal

For a bike that old

It needs to be retorqued
 
Took it apart tonight. Nut was nice and tight. Used an impact gun to get it off. (don't have a fancy home made tool to hold the inner basket. Put a ratchet on the tranny output flange nut and an impact gun on the basket nut. Couldn't get it off by hand.)

What part usually wears out? The outer basket bearing bore, the bearing or the inner race? The outer basket seems to "rock" on the bearing. The inner race does not have any play with reguard to the splined shaft. So the only 2 surfaces left to be worn are the actual bearing or the inner bore of the outer basket.
 
Just "feeling around" to see if there is an inhearent issue besides the nut being loose. I can get the inner race and the bearing for a reasonable price locally but if the outer basket is the problem then ..... that would suck.......a lot
