Some advise please
Fitted another shock to my bike,because there was excessive movement when lifting the back wheel up.
This is better but still got some movement when lifting.
Adjusted the shock don't make much difference.
Should you have a little movement doing this

Could be play where pins go in frame or swingarm. Watch both ends while lifting to see if there is movement...

A few of us have found play in the pins/holes, bound to happen after 30+ years of use I guess. Either shim or lathe up a pin from scratch I guess.

Mine does it a bit, its the lower pin moving in the holes on the swing arm. I guess, as said, 38 years of wear and tear.
When I get chance I'll take the swing arm out, replace the pin and bush the arm.

Please don’t take this the wrong way as I assure you it’s not meant to offend but educate. You’re not the only one. We have lathes at work and it makes me cringe when anyone says ‘lathe it down’. To put it into context let’s consider a car. The noun for a car is ‘car’. The verb to use it is ‘drive’. Now you wouldn’t say ‘I cared my car into work this morning’ would you? You’d say ‘I drove my car into work’. The verb to use a lathe is ‘turn’. So really you should be saying ‘I turned a piece of metal down on my lathe’. Really unimportant to most, but to me it just sounds so wrong. Jon |

Maybe I should have said, make a pin to fit from scratch then.  |
