question about VN centre bearing

[bj42turbo]

Hi guys.
I have done a search but can't find the answer. Whilest I was under the Commo installing a towbar I was having a look and feel around.
I noticed that I could move the the tailshaft around where the centre bearing is, should there be movement.
There is no grease leaking out.

depends how much its moving. If its just a couple of mm you should be fine, if its any more that this your centre bearing is probably on the way out. Is the rear end vibrating at all?

The center bearing is rubber mounted.
