By play do you mean play in housing on calipers(on headlight top housing)..if yes then tighten n check
If inthe suspension tubing then ull have to take it to the mechanic..cos it'll be tedious to chk yourself... Might be a rubber bushing, or even the long spring has compressed..usually after many years they go weak..replace it its the case..
It sounds silly, but check the tires. Then the bushings in the swing arm. It would be good to give the bike a good nose to toes going over to check on the bolt torque specs. It is time to anyway.

This site has a lot of relevent info and many links...I own same model and will be doing similar in the near future. Although I shall be looking at ebay or wreckers for a good s/hand one. Cheers.
the rear shock is adjustable, the ring below the spring turns and locks onto a kind of peg on the body of the shock. being that your bike is an 86 it may even be time for new shocks or an upgrade to stiffer. if you do adjust then make sure both sides are on the same setting. as far as tools needed some shocks can be done by hand with help from someone lifting the weight up on the back end. i dont know what kind of tools as i cant find a good pic online of your bike but maybe a C spanner / wrench
