I just noticed today that the rear caliper on my '86 250r is loose? The caliper itself is not loose it is the bracket that holds the caliper. The whole assembly moves with the axle about a 1/4" back and forth until it hits the "pin" that the bracket slides over on the swingarm? is this bracket worn out and i need a new one? or can i tighten my axle nuts? any ideas? thanks

 

ok i figured it out i think i just need a new bushing that goes on the swingarm... tell me what you all think.

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] That sounds like the cure to me. Might also want to replace the oring in the bracket when you remove it.

 

i was thinking that i could just replace the bushing without having to remover the axle locknuts and so on. I do not have the quad in front of me so tell me what you all think.

 

They all do that. Its so the break rotor wont wear funny.
