Gear Selector Wobble

Post by g1b50n »

On my NC30 it has a little play in the gear selector footpeg, ive took the rearset off and checked it out then tightened the 14mm bolt in the back of the footpeg and the peg is now solid and secure, but the gear selector arm still has play in it, is there some sort of bush/shim that should be on the face of the selector? Something thats missing? Could i put something in there like a washer to stop it wobbling? If so what size lol please help, thanks in advance

It probably needs a touch of slop - you need to be spending big bucks to get some with bearings in otherwise!
