Rear wheel bearing slop?

[sj13]

I was just putting new sprokets along with a new chain on and noticed my rear wheel has just a slight amount of slop (holding the top and bottom with bike on stand). Its not much but there is a little side to side movement... Am I right in my thinking there should be none? Or is a slight bit ok?

Sounds like you need to replace the wheel bearing's. There should be no SLOP.

Dang... Thats what I thought I am finding the guy I got this from did not keep up on all things

Are they garage changable on a RM or should I just take the wheel to the dealer?

They are garage changable.

Check the swing arm bearings while you are at it.
