It was what my MOT tester was most concerned about with my bike. If you put the bike on the centre stand and lifted the rear wheel up at down, the movement is at the bolt at the bottom of the rear shock, where it goes through the pivot arm.
It's got 1-2mm of movement, and a little off-putting. Are they all like this?
I've taken the bolt out and looked, but it's a metal sleeve through the pivot arm, so I cannot see any way it could be rectified (I did try putting some sealant in there to see if it'd fill the space, but it hasn't worked). It was tight when I came to it, so not caused by slop. It's only a 25K bike, so it shouldn't be 'worn out' already.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
