My swingarm bearing on my 2001 Honda Recon is shot I believe. Whenever I shake the four wheeler I hear a clanking sound. My question is how bad it is to ride with it like this. Is it possible to mess anything else up and if I can ride with the bearing ruined how long will I be able to ride? Thanks in advance guys

 

Bad. You can cause drivetrain damage. A rebiuld should only be about $55.
