Engine mount bolts?

Trying to track down annoying vibrations on my TLR250 so I thought I'd check the bolts......was surprised to find slop between the bolt & engine mounts, like there's about a millimeters difference between the two.All the bolts are the same.
Theres no obvious wear so is it like this, to allow for thermal expansion/frame flex ?
Or should they be snug like?

Have pulled rear linkages apart & theyre as rooted as expected on a 26year old bike & are in the process of "renewing" but it feels more like
an engine/frame thing. Swingarm is fine. So are the steering head bearings.
Cant find anything obvious with the frame though its rather "flexible',the slogged out sumpguard judders & squeaks

Worst vibes are at higher revs ,uphill under power.....

When you say linkages i assume you mean the prolink suspension , the ones in my xr 200 1990

Where completly shaged the roller bearings all fell out, the engine bolts should have no play in them

Are the bolts all done up tight treads all in good shape

yup, In the prolink suspension, similar state as yours.
Have checked all the bolts, threads seem fine,made some temporary shims for around the bolt shafts out of thin aluminium to see if that helps. Found one bolt at the bottom mount that had the wrong nut (cap type) so it couldnt do up tight I think, so will get a new 'un.
Tried to get the swingarm shaft out & couldnt, gave it a good& its not moving Any ideas or just smash it harder? Or will it be bound on the bearings?
When fluffing about with it I noticed that the nut side of the shaft , doesnt sit centre in its hole so wondering wether if its bent, or bearings collapsed on one side? Pretty meaty bolt so I'd be surprised if its bent...

I didnt have to much trouble getting swing arm of, but my really old xl 100 k2 (1977)

its like welded on i gave up years ago on that one think have to cut it of .

With your swing arm bolts just like ever thing leverage is your friend if your using socket put

A hollow tube like pipe so you can easily get the nut undone that way it make it easy.

Also u can get kits with all the bearings as honda part order i think, i havent got that far
