Dman, I'd guess worn bushings and/or springs causing excessive inner wear. You need remote control air shocks to compensate on the fly for whatevers goin on back there.
On another note, my alternator is randomly giving me issues. Couple days ago I fired i up it wasn't charging, so I shut it off, disconnected and reconnected the battery, and it started working again. Not sure whats up with that. Also pulled my dads 81 yamaha 250 exciter (if you call 20 hp exciting) out of storage after 12-13 years, it only has 12000 kms on it, and he was planning on giving it to a neighbour for 200$. Well, thats not happening now lol. After a thorough wash and degreasing the back wheel of chain lube, it looks almost like a new bike. An oil change, some pre-lubing, and a shot of ether, it fired right up and runs the same as it did the last time I heard it run. I'm assuming it had fuel stabilizer put in it to run that good on old gas. All I need now is a battery, which I'm hopefully getting tmo. I'm going to buy it (for somewhat more than $200) as I need extra wheels anyway. 70 mpg is what it's rated at, if I can get anywhere close to that I'll be happy. It will do 125-130 kph flat out, but pretty underpowered for the highway. Good little around town/backroad bike though. Looking forward to putting around on it, but it'll sure seem slow compared to a 110 hp cbr600.
