Put the bike on the main stand and check the rear wheel bearings (You Tube or Google to save me typing it all out)
Then check the swing arm for play, up and down plus side to side.
Get someone to lean on the rear of the seat (while on main stand) so that the front wheel is off the floor
Check front wheel bearings for play
Grab the bottom of the forks to check the steering stem bearings.
If nothing obvious check all discs for run out and sticking pistons in the calipers.
I know i need to check the swingarm for play, it won't be any of the other stuff though, i service the brakes twice a year, tyres are all good and pumped up, my head bearings were changed and i know the signs for iffy wheel bearings.
It's either gonna be the shock or swing arm.
Just not entirely sure how you check a dud shock when there are no obvious leaks?
