    Hi peeps,

    Not sure if i have a problem or not, i was cleaning the blade (2007) and when wiping round the rear shock i noticed i could move it side to side. Is this supposed to happen?

    It moves about 3/4 inch left and right if you push and pull on the compression things that over hangs the rear hugger.

    Help would be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    Normal mate, its up and down play thats a prob, hondas are norm very good with little to none up and down play in the linkage, other brands like suzuki can have 2 or 5 mm from brand new..

    Last year a couple of people I know with Ducatis had mot fails for left and right free play! Thats coz the tester knows jack about bikes and if that were me I would have called vosa and asked why is this twat testing bikes...lol
