fuel tank wobbles?
 
I just picked up my 02 ZX6R today and love it already. Going over the bike, I noticed that the fuel tank will shift side to side for some reason. I cranked down the allen head bolts on the front and rear of the tank and still have the wobble. Are there bushings that wear out, maybe some missing parts or parts installed in the incorrect order, or what?

Thanks.

i think they all move a little bit because they're rubber mounted.

it might shift a little, but check the rubber bushings

There should be 2 rubber bushings/ spacers between the tank and the frame spars; one on each side. Look in the parts diagram on the kawasaki website owner info section.

Yeah the bushings are there but maybe just worn out? I'll price some out. Thanks everyone.
