I was chasing that oil leak from my shift shaft today. Decided to swap out the countershaft seal while I was in there - so - loosen the back wheel, off comes the chain and front sprocket, etc. Did all the work on both seals (I'm becoming intimate with that shift shaft seal - I did a bunch of cleaning and polishing of the shaft in there today - wish me luck).
When I got it all back together I was on the double check part of the process and found that while on the center stand, I was able to rock the sway bar horizontally JUST a smidge - likely a 16th or so. First time I've been able to do that. Not surprising, but kind of sudden. Maybe the change of tires a couple of months back sent things over the edge.
In any event - bushings will be on the way from this supplier CBXPerformance - I was watching this thread a while ago.
I'll post progress and questions here, although there is a LOT of help and suggestions already documented.
And thanks as always.
