Hi Mark,
thanks, yes, I've been all round the engine mounting bolts.
also the swingarm pivot bolt , when I torqued up the pivot bolt after having the swingarm out I seem to have a bit of 'sticktion' in the movement
I did find this from mr lambeth in the archives:-
"Severe vibration from xt6s is often caused by a loose swing arm spindle nut and lower engine mount (allows engine to rattle against frame)
I have seen this problem on many high mileage bikes - if the problem is left too long the swing arm bearings will need re shimming to avoid the arm going tight on re-tightening."
I wonder how do you check if the swing arm bearings will need re shimming?
thanks
andy
