Crank and conrod.
Note the patch of rust. I'm thinking after reading F5Dave's post that maybe the bike fell victim to being parked up in Upper Hutt for 18 months without being run. The result being the main and big end bearings have corroded and the two days of practice prior to the BoB was enough to flog them out. Bearing on crankshaft (Mag Main?) had very, very small amount of play in it. One that sits in the case (Drive main?) has quite a significant amount.
Conrod play.
Approx 2mm at top. Questions for those that know. Is this excessive? Does it indicate the bearing is worn? Will the conrod need replacing or just the bearing?
