Sideways play in front drive sprocket (normal???)

[ray_]

I have been rebuilding a 1979 CB750 engine for some time now (on and off). Since it had been so long since I took my engine apart, I decide to do a mock assembly of my crankcase before I close the crankcase up for good! Everything seems to be fitting well and turning/working as intended (and have no extra bits left behind after bolting up the crankcase

). However, I did notice that there was some play in the front drive sprocket even when bolted down. Will attach a video below. Is that normal? If not, what's wrong here?

FYI: The bike is a '79 CB750K DOHC

Thank you @kirky . I am relieved to know that. I will add that I got in touch with a local Honda expert and he said the same so I am guessing we're good!

But OMG, 40 years of working on brit iron is very cool!! (I have been on Earth for slightly more than half that time ). Brit bikes are the quintessential motorcycles!
