I feel inadequate now, once it's been pointed out it's so obvious

Thanks again for coming back (and Keefy) when I stopped yesterday, seem to have sorted my bike as well so back up to speed on the way home.

I had found the detent ball Paul, it’s rested between the front of the swing arm and engine case in the pic, the spring has long gone though.
No thanks needed for coming back mate….we had to….you had the cake glad you got it sorted out.
