pistonbroke Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 First thing I would look at are the dog bone bearings and swing arm bearings . If they have not been maintained with grease they will be loose. Regards Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Start it & listen for main bearings as the only real fault. Generally they're only as good as their previous owner(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty97 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 A few people told to check the rear shock has been upgraded. were they on about the older bikes as i cant find anyone who have mentioned this on here???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 The 06 was the bike with the dodgy shock, pretty sure they were fixed for 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
