Hi!

Some up and down free play in swing arm is OK. But it shouldn't move from side to side.

Sure it is. I know just what I've read in the manuals. Randy is the man with experience.

If it did not go up and down I would be very worried, 3 to 4mm is perfectly OK, it is because the length of the swingarm exaggerates the tiny amount of movement in the various joints of the linkage system.
The older I get, the faster I was

That's how I understood it also.

EEEEK... :negative:

Any uncontrolled up & down movement means there are worn out parts in the swing arm or linkage. That means the rear suspension can move uncontrolled which means the tire will not remain firmly planted on the roadway.

I just referred to my GYSM, the movement limit is 1mm at the end of the swing arm (photo attached)
