Remember you cleaning out the shock and the brake calipers on my Gixxers and makes such a massive difference you don't realise how bad they are until you strip them out for a good look.

Just getting around to taking the back end off my trail bike.
Swing arm and linkage is due a re-grease, and there is at least one set of bearings in the cushion link that have too much play so need replacing.

Problem is there just doesn't seem to be any urgency at the moment. :)):

It's doing my head in, i normally ride every day but only been out twice in 2 weeks, then feeling a exposed because of lack of other traffic to take their eyes off any potential wrongdoing.
Nice job on the shock there.
