Rear suspension play

[revsplinter]

Anyone pick up the rear tire with it on a stand and feel the rear has slop? Mine only has 6 hours and has a tiny bit of up and down play. I checked with another Varg at the track and he had the same amount of play.

yes just checked mine since you pointed it out
has a minimal amount of play like a notch (less than 2 mm )
I will investigate further
might be nothing too
seems to be in the suspension

yes its very minimal, but there. Wasn't the top of shock, it was in the knuckle somewhere.

It is a build up of 5 pivot points in the shock mounts and rising rate linkages, a tiny bit in each, Much the same set up as most MX/Enduro bikes with the exception of ktm pds.
I noticed some play in mine at relatively low hours compared to what I would expect on our Yamaha's. Maybe the bearing to bushing clearance wants tightening up by a few microns.
