While working on my scooter, I noticed that when it is on the center stand the dual frame setup has some play. When rocking the bike left to right from the handle bars with the seat off, you can see the frame moves left to right, but the engine and rear wheel don't. It is not a lot of play but I can see it. If I am standing over the seat but not sitting on it and turn the bars quickly from left to right and back I can make half the bike bounce against the rest of it... It doesn't make a noise or anything, just feels like it rubber bands back and forth if that makes sense? I thought this was the shocks or tires offering give before, but since I saw it do it with the seat bucket off, I know this is play between the rear engine/wheel and where it meets with the front frame.
Is this normal? The bolts all seam tight. Is this just the design?
I have OCD so little things like this keep me up at night. Feel free to tell me everything is fine so I can sleep better!!!

Check the bolts holding the SWINGARM to the Front part of the FRAME they may be a little loose.

Alleyoop I cant seem to find a picture of these bolts or any reference to servicing them through google or this forum. I think I found the right side one where it bolts to the engine, but not the left; nor can I see it without removing the body panels. Is there a post somewhere or a link that shows them plain as day? I even tried the scrappy dogs where you can buy the engine and rear wheel complete, but it is not a large enough or high res photo...

I labeled where the motor bolts up to the front part of the frame. Now there could be 1 BOLT going through one side all the way to the other side or TWO sepreate bolts I would bet that is where it is loose if the front moves side ways. Alleyoop  FOUND A BETTER PICTURE OF WHERE IT ATTACHS TO THE FRAME.  |
