Default 08 Rear Caliper quick question

Can someone give their rear caliper a quick shake and tell me if it seems to 'float' on the bottom bolt/pin in relation to the swingarm? Or is it mounted solidly. Not sure if I have something broken or not...
Thanks!

Don't know about the 08, but my 06 is solid.

You can relax. That's the way it's supposed to be. I just gave mine a quick shake ... then I checked the brake caliper

Mine does the same thing.
