Today I noticed that when my bike is off from the stand and if I pull the rear end up then there`s a noticeable free movement. I don`t speak english too well so I hope you understood what I ment. It`s like moveing freely upwards when lift it. And it is moving from the shock itself, all the bearings are fine.

I hope you can help me out with this, because I am 100% sure that it isn`t normal. I thought it might be a low oil level?

look closer at were the movement is. have a friend move the wheel up and down. there are lots of bearings that could have wear/play in them.

Hopefully, that's just the normal sag in the suspension. Naturally you will be able to lift the bike up in the suspension travel from a sitting position. I hope this helps. Good luck.
