05 fe650 shift shaft movement

Hi all, great site here.
So I just purchased this fe650 and didn't check it out very good. :( The shift shaft moves up/down, left/right about
1/16 inch. I went through all the mechanical posts back to early '05 but didn't find anything. Also, looking at the parts breakdown, there doesn't seem to be any real support for the shaft until the bearing inside the gearbox. The bike has 96hrs/2200 mi. on it. I will be taking the left side cover off to have a look probably tomorrow. Does any one have any ideas, experience with this? Do I have to split the cases to fix this? Thanks in advance.
 
my 05 fc450 has some movement too but has never leaked and shifts fine so i just ride it.
 
mine does that

I say its normal

you're right the shaft is very short and not supported tightly as bikes where it goes right through

can't hurt to have a look though
 
everyone's is the same and they still do a great job. they have to be floppy to get the sidecover over three shafts....something has to wobble!

Taffy
