Rear ESA shock movement.

[L2RKE]

Just given my 1200GSA it's first good wash and found the whole rear shock and ESA assembly rotates. I'm sure my 1200RS shock didn't do that. Is this normal on the GS?

Yes, Its moves back and forth. Its normal

Thanks for your replies. Just got back from a bike meet where I had a chat with another gs owner and he was surprised as his didn't rotate

It doesn’t rotate on the later bikes. Can’t remember the year when it changed.
