    Hello I have a fireblade rr6 2006,
    At the moment I have it on both paddock stands I was cleaning it and I noticed slight side to side movement at the top of the shocker.

    Is this normal?

    Thanks Tony

    Hi Tony.

    Yes it's normal. I asked the same thing many years ago when I used to have my RR4. I can't remember the name of the type of bearing at the top of the shock but it's designed to allow that movement.
