Ok, heres one for all you 250r guru's. This is the first 2 stroke motor I have really messed with, I have amways worked on 4 strokes. When I would grab the connector rod in a 4 stroke, i could get almost no play in it what so ever. But I took my connector rod, and it seemed to have a decent bit of play in it. Not side to side play, it would pivot a slight bit. Now, I called Hetricks and asked them if that should be there, and they said yes. I am just wondering your opinions on this..

yes, there should be very little. my dirtbike and my quad was like this after i replaced all of the bearings. but if its to much then you need a new arm and bearings. you dont want you pistion hitting your head or your arm rubbing on your crank.

How much is very little? I mean its not like its moving 1/8th of an inch either way. Like say you start with it in the middle, should it move like a 1/16th each way, or 1/32? I think its fine, but i'm just double checking.
