Is there any body who can give me a pointer.
Just got the PX out of moth balls for the coming season and noticed I have a very small amount of play in the back wheel.
Not noticed it before, but never really checked, is some very slight play normal?
Cheers

A bit of play is normal on Vespa's. It's even allowed to go via an MOT like that because the rear hub is splined. A bike in the same condition wouldn't pass. Excessive play on the hub is either your rear hub nut is loose or the rear hub bearing is shot.

Cheers for that, I haven't stripped a vezzy for 20+ years and some of the quirks you forget about.
