muggzy Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hey Guys, About a month ago my rear end loosened up suddenly. It's one of those things I check routinely so I caught it and adjusted my chain before tightening it back up. I had just checked it on Friday before riding in the woods for several hours. Saturday I went out witout checking it and my chain came off miles from anywhere and sure enough, the carrier was lose again. I got the chain back on and made it back without incident but I've got little confidence in the stock swingarm/carrier anymore. Any suggestions, advice? I'm looking for a used stock-length swingarm and round house carrier and wondering what I should expect to pay for a simple silver powder coat steel arm. I don't need chrome. ALL of my riding is in the woods, sometimes on some really rocky trails and I'm due for carrier bearings anyway. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Once you go to a round house carrier style you'll never go back. I don't see many used stock length arm's on here, but they've gotta be around for fairly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 If you use a torque wrench to tighten ALL the nuts and bolts to the factory spec you should not have any problems. The only time mine loosened up was when I did not use a torque wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
