Has anyone else noticed premature upper balljoint looseness? Ive only got 40 hours on my machine,and if you jack up the front end so the wheels are hanging in full droop theres play in the upper ball joints. What i mean by play is,you can grab the tire, top and bottom and move it about 3/8 of an inch at the tire. This seems exsessive for a machine with only 40 hours on it.
Maybe this is an exceptable amount, im going to call my dealer tomorrow and see what he has to say. I'll let you guys know what they say!

 

From the shop manuel "The maximum laterial play should be 1.5mm (0.060 in)." Sounds like you need new ball jounts. Is your DS still under warr
ainty?

 

40 hours... that is premature,Have you been greasing them?,what kind of riding do you do?
