Due to wear of the rubbing parts of the hub, axial play occurs. Such a breakdown makes it very difficult to control the motorcycle at high speeds. In most cases, bearing failure occurs.

Instructions
Step 1
It is necessary to start eliminating the backlash from the front wheel. Place a blank under the engine shield. The front wheel must not touch the ground. Unscrew and remove the nut located on the right side of the hub pinch bolt. Remove this bolt. Move the wheel in the direction of the motorcycle and remove it from the fork.
Step 2
Remove the nut that is on the right side of the wheel hub axle. Be sure to remove the washer. Tighten the ball bearing right cone until the axial play is eliminated. Please note that the axle must rotate freely in the bearings. Replace the washer. When tightening the nut, you will have to hold the cone with the wrench. Otherwise, it will rotate. Replace the wheel. Install the tie bolt and tighten the nut. Don't forget the cotter pin.
Step 3
Then you can proceed to repair the rear wheel. Place the motorcycle on a rear stand. Remove some of the wheel mudguard nuts. Pick it up. Then unscrew all wheel attachments to the brake drum. Then take care of the rear chain tension adjusting bolts. Be sure to let them go. Unscrew the wheel axle nut and remove the axle. Slide the wheel to the left. Remove it from the brake drum pins. Remove from rear plug.
Step 4
Now you can proceed directly to the elimination of the backlash. To do this, unscrew the screws securing the casing, the oil seal, as well as the screws of the cover that protects the hub flange. Remove the support bush. Install a new one. Alternatively, you can simply add a couple of shims under the old support bushing. Replace all parts and secure them with screws.
Step 5
Replace the wheel. Perform the operations in reverse order. Be sure to check the adjustment. Ideally, the wheel should rotate freely on the axle. There should be no backlash during axial motion. Lower and bolt the mud box. Adjust the rear chain tension.
