Default Axle?

I have a 2000 400ex and the rear tires wooble a little bit as your going down the road more so on the left rear as you sit on it. Is this going to hurt anything? and do these axles or rims bend easy? Don't know if I should replace axle or how true they really are never noticed it before. Any help and or advice would be great.

The stock axle will bend fairly easy, while the wheels seem to take a beating. If you want to see if its the axle, jack it up and run it, with the tires off. If the hub wobbles its the axle, and if the hub runs true, its the wheel.


If you don't feel the shake it should be OK to run it, I would say.

Is there anyway to straighten these axles? Seems to be bent right at the very end about the first 2 or 3 inches of it.

There is places that will true an axle. I personally wouldn't have one done, though. I think a new axle would be safer.
