Found that on my 200x. Its the swingarm bushing which is supposed to be supported by 1 needle bearing on each end... The last owner thought it was a good idea to put a chunk of electrical tape to take up the free play On one side only?
Anyway, I thought it was pretty funny and that is only 1 of a bunch of stupid ideas
No wonder from him being a pothead...
