Default WHAT COULD IT BE???

Hey guys, i went out this weekend for a ride and i keep on hearing kind of like a cracking noise from around the middle of the bike. i think its comming from maybe the rear shock Bushings?? i'm not sure tho. i do hear it when i hit bumps or if i hit the gas for a few seconds and then let off when the engine breaking kicks in it kinda sounds like the bushings or worn or something of that nature. i can kinda feel it in the footpegs but not sure. if anyone could help i'd greatly appreciate it. Thank You. about 1200 miles

Nyroc: Thanks for the info. it only does it every once in a while tho. and the tires dont "sway" back and forth at all. the wierd thing about it is that it only happens once in a while not everytime. do you still think its the swing arm bearing needing grease or assistance?? Thanks alot.

It also could have came loose.... bad swingarm bearings start a little and progressively get worst. You feel it in the footpegs is a very good indiction of swing arm problems.
