That option has popped in my head many a time. I don't give up easily.Surely the answer is to sell it before it becomes your problem.

Unless you've ridden one, then it's hard to explain why I can't give up on it.
I would never sell it on until it's A1.Joking aside it's a shite situation mate
I wouldn't be happy riding it knowing there is a potentially fatal problem and i wouldnt be happy selling it on and putting someone else's life at risk
The only thing i cant think of is to go to the maker and play merry hell as surely the bike was never of a salable quality
Indeedy do.New swingarm???
Yarp, but there is no Morini factory anymore & parts are very frugal & only obtained via a Dutch company I think?Not fully knowing the details of age and mileage etc but shouldn't that be cause for a safety recall?
morningI'm officially a bit worried about my Moto Morini Granpasso.
These pic's are from another site I frequent & the rider was extremely lucky to have a controlled kinda stop.
Ok, his machine is the older version, but I can't see any difference between his or my swing arm.

Stop it! You naughty man.Beachy Head is normally quiet first thing in the morning. We could meet up and do a joint event when I send my golf clubs over
morning
Suggestions are to slacken off the chain
& ignore the recommended free play @
time of production.

But as others have said, does the initial
investigation take into account the pivot arm bushings causing friction or indeed the single sided shock being part of the culprit due to preload to high or maybe even overloading the bike?
Too many variables to think about.
Chain tension have always been a thing with me, most people go with the recommended slack but it seems obvious to me that a big lad 2 up with luggage is going to compress the suspension more than racing snake me one up carrying no luggage, so by that theory chain tensions would need to be different or you end up with either an iron bar or a sloppy mess dragging on the floorSame recommendation for the Triumph Tiger 955i as it prevents the output shaft from the gearbox breaking, or at least eating oil seals on a too frequent basis. It also increases the lifetime of the chain.
