[QUOTE="cinquecento, post: 52806, member: 2979"] checked things out as per nkt267 suggestion an there is movement in suspension ie up and down when bouncing on foot pegs, but not quite as much as i was expecting. Tried several times to get top pivot spindle dust cover to be turned by hand but every time on tightning the lock nut the dust cover would pinch up, maybe this is where some attention is needed to stop any binding. But wht I did find wa that the front damper bottom retaining eye bolts were only loosely assembled, despite nylock nuts theyhad not been done up tight and the damper was rocking to and fro around the bottom pivot.
