959 Shock Spherical Bearing

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by flatstick959, Jul 16, 2016.

  1. re-fitted my shock last night after re-valve

    I noticed the bottom spherical bush has quite a lot of rotational play - the upper is solid

    It looks like the upper body and lower are slightly out of line so when its fitted to the bike it rotates the bush slightly

    There isn't any play forr/aft, just rotating in its socket

    Anyone else's look like this?

  2. That's correct by design :)
     
  3. Cool cheers

    I can tell it's been like that before it was removed as you could see dirt on one side and not the other, showing it was rotated slightly before
     
  4. Yeah, mine is the same also

  6. If you didn't see my post on your other thread. Check you side stand bolt. Mine had loosened a little.
     
  7. i checked everything i could see when the fairing was off and found a few loose bolts and some missing

    I've had to retighten the side stand twice in 1800 miles and lost 3 fairing bolts so far
     
  8. Oh, I must be getting off light. Although I got a new dash.
