I took apart my swingarm and greased and inspected everything per the manual. It is all torqued to spec. I now have a bit of up and down play in the swinger - probably 1mm or so if you measured at the axle. I don't know if it was like that before as I did not check - just took it apart.
The bike is a new to me 99 with 17k on it. I never really rode it as the brakes were pretty rough. As near as I can tell it is coming from the dog bones on either end - they are a little too wide and let the suspension move just a bit.
Everything looked fine when it was apart, the book says to check for excessive vertical play using the spacer inside the bearings. I couldn't detect any. I am a little OCD when it comes to working on bikes and I want to be sure it is ok.
