Idk what's normal but it seems in my carrier there some extra play. Not sure if its normal jack up the bike and isolate if it is the axle or where the swinger bolts to the frame....then buy the appropriate bearings and replace with help from the clymer book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATVridinMaNiAc Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Make sure your axle nuts are tight also...otherwise you might need these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp=mtr&item=271067988231 or these http://www.ebay.com/itm/190721238822?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgandy Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Well I just changed all my bearings maybe a year or two ago with a guy who knows his stuff so I assumed we did it all right so we basically took apart the whole rear end and replaced the bearing. I remember it was a bitch to get out some of the bearings some were burnt to the frame basically. But ya I need to just take it back to my friends house some day and see if its normal or more than normal. It's not much but there's play in it. I need to tighten that nut I just don't have a big enough wrench to tighten it with so it's as tight as I can get it with duck tape so it won't come loose? Maybe that's my problem?! Bingo? Or did I fuck it up again by riding with it like that for two years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
