    Hi im Dave from Sheffield and i own a Triumph Tiger 1200 XRT 68 plate i have had it from new and have clocked up 21000 smiles but recently its developed excessive play in the drive so much that at the back wheel when in gear the wheel will turn about 2 inch to take up the play, had the cover of the end of the drive shaft where it turns through 90 degrees and all is ok up to where the shaft goes across to the clutch side, you can see there is no play up to that point, just wondering if anyone had come across the same problem if it was in the clutch or gear box, still rides ok but at slow speed can fell the play, anoying
