Thanks @Ceesie76, that helps a lot. Yes I’m moving it with the tool for sag adjustment. That’s how I found out. I hope that’s the problem so I can finally solve the low speed wobble and crabbing ( lines on both tires on opposite sides)

Hey guys,
I was trying to adjust the sag on my 2020 c650gt and noticed extensive play on the top bolt of the shock. The bolt moves up and down the rubber bushing.
Please see the video and let me know if this is normal.
Thanks,

Hey guys, just an update. After replacing the steering head bearings the handlebars wobble is gone. The motorcycle is much more stable at higher speed. Now at very slow speed at around 5-10mph I get vibrating in the handlebars and the bike sways. The road feels bumpy even though it’s not.

Hi Dan, yes I did:) there was no plan. Just remove the screws in the middle and start shaking the plastics and they will come off. I broke one pin removing them.

No news:) I’m still waiting on Michelin to approve the claim so i can replace the tires, but I suspect that’s not the problem. When the motorcycle is cold, I’m in NYC so temperature is around 30es, I feel swaying on very slow speed and then it gets better. I’m 99% sure the problem is in the head...
I tried today to remove the handlebars cover and check the torque on the head bearing but no luck:( couldn’t remove the plastic. I removed the center plastic easy, unscrewed all screws and it didn’t want to come off. Any tips?
Any tricks on removing the handlebars cover? I tried today and no luck. I removed the center piece easily, unscrewed all screws in the middle, the side ones and the ones under the brake levers. The front closer to the dashboard came off but the rest won’t come out.
Thanks,
Everything was checked at BMW dealership and they said the motorcycle is in perfect condition. Now I’m waiting on Michelin to send new tires and see if the tires were the issue. I still suspect the steering head beatings or torque. At the shop they did some tests, rode the bike and said...
