Took half the bike apart yesterday, removed the exhaust to take out the shock, no obvious problem looking at it

The rattle is driving me crazy, greased the bolt that connects the shock to the frame, will test today

I'm at the point of selling the bike, so much it irritates me

How can the shock be the culprit?

I can take it apart and put it back under two hours, one plus point to it

I've tightened the special nut - part number 1 - it turned so little I can't believe it can make a difference, but so far seems if it did

Hope this was it

Fingers crossed for you Duel. If it doesn't maybe a loud exhaust might drown it out.

Almost there, about 60 % less rattles, but still there over corrugated road surface

Took the swingarm off again today, greased everything again, and reset swingarm

Will test it later and report, we have a nice expression in Afrikaans, I'm getting gatvol blowup
