Checked rear end again and found that able to raise, on centre stand, rear end a fair bit, spotted top mount moving up and down. Fitted correct shims for this mod now play considerably less but some still present. May have to drill bushing to 12mm and fit suitable bolt to correct any further play perhaps introduced play by using bushes to continue to use 10mm bolt?
Further to above, "Rider" sag before above 35mm now very close to 30mm, just shows how much play there was, just means I could back off shock preload to get a match with sag on front end of 35mm for a balance. I have plenty of nose down attitude as R6 5EB forks are shorter than OEM Fazer - dog bones 150mm to bring rear end down to OEM, S1000RR shock longer than OEM.

Back full circle first bike Yamaha, RD250C now another Yamaha, FAZER 1000 - 2009 S1000RR shock, R6 5EB RWU forks, both resprung, just fitted so much better......
