Free play in radiator fan
Hello,
I've started a major maintenance and upgrade job on my VTR and now that the fairings are off I've noticed some axial play in the radiator fan. Is that something normal?
Thanks!

Thanks!
I ended up taking the fan out for inspection. Turns out the nut was 2-3 threads too loose. It had only stayed on because the screw was a bit oxidized.
After tightening it and applying some locktite it got to zero free play.
For anyone concerned about free play : you might want to check your fan nut.
