Have to remember you were looking at it with the bike on the ground using your clutch. It is rubber to cushion the force when you engage the clutch so it does compress some. When you go out to the bike before you go out again. Leave the bike on the side stand and in neutral. Try and move the sprocket back and forth with your hand, that will show you how much play is in it.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
