How bad, how much, can I fix it myself ???

What other problems are you having? If that's all then I don't think it's that bad. It will move a little bit though it should require a little more force.

But again, did something happen to cause that? Need more info

Last time I rode it, she ran fine. Literally nothing has happened. But as I was washing it today, I noticed it had a lot of play. There is a ball joint on top, so I thought maybe it was suppose to have play, but that didn't seem realistic.

Normal.

Or better yet, buy a used Ohlins take off shock in the for sale section and realize what rear suspension does....

@ Johnny, you say normal, as in its supposed to have play and be moved around? If so, No need to take the bike in to the dealership.

 

[randomtask]

Yes it is normal to have some play

 

[jwm2k3]

Yes, normal. Some will have more side to side movement, but the movement is there so there is no binding as it compresses and releases.

Don't worry about the shock.
