I have a 95 FZR 600. I have the swingarm off and I noticed that the relay arm has about 1 mm of side to side movement where it attaches to the frame. Is that normal?

R,
"relay" arm ???? do you mean the rear caliper stay bar ?
Some thing is lost in translation a picture perhaps might prove useful?

The Haynes manual calls it the relay arm. It's the part which the shock & dog bones (tie rods according to Haynes) attaches to.

This is indeed the correct term for the part. The factory manual might have specs for runout on the rear suspension linkage. My guess is that since the load is on the vertical plane, 1mm of lateral runout may be acceptable.
If anyone knows better, please chime in.

Well after 50+ years of biking & wrenching I have learned something new in the way of terminology
Thanks
