Crank run out is obviously an issue if you want to go to gears.

Though just popped into my head, would this cause crank seal leaks????

The MoCo changed the run out spec a couple times.... I believe for my 2012 it was up around .010 or even .012... I can't remember.... Once the MoCo went over .005ish as acceptable, I stopped paying attention to their spec and went with what I felt was good.... luckily, none of the bikes I've owned, and checked the run out, were over .004...

I want to put the bike on the road until winter

Is this a new behavior that recently developed?

Then did it a few years before 2012 too. Kids forget the sins of their fathers.
