My machine is a 2018 with 700 very easy miles, mostly on road. Lately I've been noticing a slight vibration at speeds above 35 mph coming from under the floorboard. It is not a violent shake but noticeable. Last weekend I had the skid plates off to do a thorough cleaning before parking it for the season and when I grabbed the driveshaft near the transmission I gave it a good shake and there was more play in the joint than I would like. Is this a common thing or something I should worry about? TIA

Normally there isn’t much play. Compare both axles and if one is significantly more play up/down then it could be the axle or possibly outer bearing. Also while jacked up check and make sure it’s not suspension components, and possibly rotate front to back on tires, see it that changes anything
