Pull the bike on the central stand.
Turn the rearwheel gently forward, then backwards - feel for any uneveness in motion. If ok, turn on the engine. See to that the rearwheel spinns freely off the ground. 3000rpm - go up and down through the gears; listen to the gearbox and transmission with a "stetoscope" (i.e. long screwdriver, tire iron, or what ever). If there are any bad bearing - you will hear them (sounds like rumbling at a quarry). Worn sprocket gives of a churny sound like chewing on cartilage sort of.
It simply should not be the shock-absorber...
