Just a daft queerie !... Ive just been checking around , new to me 08 Ybr 125 & the back light was as floppy as a limp duck ! I know lights need some damping but this seemed way to way to loose . So seat off & the nut were tight , so it must have always been like it , surely this can't be the norm for these Ive had a good few bikea & none ever like it ? it must have been bouncing about like Jordan on a road drill Bounce! Bounce! . Anyway I put a couple more rubber washers on & set it to what I think should be about right for it & I suppose I'll find out if bulb dont last long , but just wondered if anyone else had noticed theres were the same ?

Well this one I have just got is 2 year old but only done 650 miles & mint , it was just used with camper van a few of times . I dont think the light like it was would have lasted a few K miles ? but like I say I dont know if it is how they are made ?

Hi
I wouldnt say mine flops about but it does have movement by hand, i assume its to stop shocks going through it.
