Hi, my 2002 dakar has 60k on the clock. I just returned from a 7.5k km trip and noticed yesterday that there was a grinding noise coming from the front sprocket area. Took the cover off and noticed that there is slight lateral play if you wobble the sprocket. Is this normal? The nut appears to be tight. Could this be a problem deeper in the engine or the transmission? I had a similar noise once when the front sprocket was put on the wrong way round. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
