Title: Honda Fireblade Suspension Linkages-Please look
Post by: terryc on May 27, 2009, 01:34:14 AM
Okay all you out there, this isn't a bass thing. Although I am going to seek advice from my dealer I thought some of the engineers or 'Blade owners can also help. History: 2007 Honda Fireblade, only used in summer, no rain or winter days..dry hot days only. The OEM tyres are shot so I have a nice new pair of Pirelli Corsa's. I remove the wheels and generally give the bike a check over and I notice this in the linkages..

  See the gaps marked with the arrows, now my extensive m/cycle engineering experience tells me this ain't right even if lateral play is allowed! I did put a wrench on the nuts and they are all tight.  So what do you all think..cause for concern?? Comments please
