Hi, while giving the bike a going over this morning, checking sag settings etc, I noticed a bit of play in the swing arm. It looks like the bearings on the lower shock link have some play in them at both ends(of the conrod shaped link) now the bike only has just over 5k on it, seems a bit soon for this kind of ***** to be happening. Does anyone else have/had the same issue?
Dave.
Quick edit; I have ordered just the bearings atm as the other parts are out of stock, these will be fitted before I head off the the Alps next week, on the parts fiche there is an updated conrod complete, part number AP81465164 replaces AP8146516, has this been a recall at some point or is it just the usual Aprilia (things are/maybe wrong so we will sell an updated part at full cost to the unsuspecting owner) type thing
