If the rearend of the bike has play in it or wobbles back and forth when u shake it could this be the ball bearings on the swingarm or in the hubs?

 

have someone shake it for you and watch to see where its comming from could be both

 

the rear carrier is most likely bad.......it cost me 150dollars to have someone fix it.....next time i will fix it myself.

bearing are like 40 bucks.

 

x3 on the carrier bearings, not that hard to do yourself.

 

Might just be that the nut has worked loose......

One symptom of bad bearings is that the chain will not stay in adjustment.

If it is the bearings, don't ride it until you sort it out. I rode mine with bad bearings and it ruined the carrier and the axle as well. Got pretty expensive!!

 

this is very true.....my axle nut comes loss alot even with a rad locknut.

i also have a burgard doube row carrier sitting in my closet when the bearings go bad again.
