V100 Mandello Gear Lash Problem

[@Thinwater]

I like how you got to the point and didn't waste time working up to the problem. Sorry about your problem though.

There is a recall of the 2023 V100 for missing bushings on the rear shock. I don’t know exactly what your previous problem was but I wanted you to know this. Haven’t felt any excess gear lash but I will check it out overall it’s a great bike. I’ll be adding some handlebar weights to the cure vibration of right side grip. My only complaint

[@MechanizedMedic]

My swingarm issue is different from the shock recall. It was caused by the swingarm pivot bushings having too much clearance with the pin that holds it all together. I had new bushings made and it's much more stable at high speeds.

Mine has the same, even worse. 3 inch lash in 3rd and 4th.

Oh goodness! 😳 Is it going in to get fixed?

[@charlespoelmans8758]

Not yet reported to the dealer. Did you?

[@MechanizedMedic]

@@charlespoelmans8758 yes, I reported to the dealer and made an appointment for the 9th of July. I'm also noticing a chain slapping sound in the left cylinder lately and some intermittent crank position error codes on startup.

I almost traded my zx10r on a V100. Glad I didn’t trade in my spurs yet

@@ridepastu1418 The vast majority of owners I chat with online have no issues, so I think I'm just a bit unlucky (and picky 🧐)... I'm still very much in love with this bike and plan on keeping it for a very long time.
