Hay Andrew, I had a problem with my axle bearings comming loose when the bomb was new, found it accidentaly when I was lubing the chain the first time. I was fortunate to have descovered it before any damage occured. Like yours, it was under warranty but what a drag it is taking it to the dealer. I suggest checking it after a half hour or so of riding to make sure it stays tight. I had to really crank down on the lock bolt to keep mine from repeatedly loosening. Let us know how it turs out.

Mine came loose too after several hours and I wasn't quite sure how to tighten it (it didn't say how in the shop manual - unless I'm going blind!). Took the advice given in this thread and now it looks ok again. Doesn't look like any permanent damage. Thx for the advice.

 

the ds does come stock with tapered bearings.just thought i would let you know.thanks for your input.

 

Guys,
I'm a fool!
It was just the preload bearing nut. I messed with it & it did help some, but not all. The dealer said I just needed to spin it more. I can't believe I did (or didn't) do that !
