They flex in various areas, including the steering neck, rear sub frame, and the swingarm; thus the German moniker: "Gummikuhe".
On my former RS, this was completely cured by installing a billet aluminum upper triple tree, a braced swing arm, and aftermarket springs.

Are those braces...one man's shade tree engineering?

Luftmeister's Matt Capri had plenty of detractors, but the side braces help.
