The rear caliper on my 08 xb12xt wiggles a little when I try to move it to the left and right. The front caliper is solid, with no movement. Bike has 1200miles on it. Does this sound normal, because I dont think so. The two bolts holding it on are tight.

What about the two bolts that secure the assembly to the swingarm?

its not loose there, just at the top two bolts
where the rubber seals are at. Holding the caliper together.

Those top two bolts are actually pins that the caliper slides side to side on. This is because its a single piston, rather than having opposed pistons like the front. Totally normal.
