Hi Folks,

I acquired an 848 EVO for racing purposes last year. I wasn't able to do much racing but I did get the bike to IMI a few times and discovered some rear end slop the last time I went out. You can feel the rear of the bike taking a set as you transition to full lean. I verified that something was actually happening back there by observing that the rear wheel assembly moves back and forth a few tenths when the bike is strapped down by the front tire in the trailer. After verifying everything was torqued down, I narrowed it down to either the wheel bearing hub assembly or the swingarm bearings. Has anyone whose had the pleasure of riding one of Ducati's famed single-sided swingarm machines ever experienced a similar sensation? If so, how did you get rid of it?
