Left swingarm pivot stud backed out, drive line making weird popping noise.
Had a half inch sideways play in swingarm.

Anybody had this problem, would appreciate any feedback

Thanks. Oxygen

 

I had the same problem the bearing went on me.The good news was kawi fixed it under warranty.

 

Thanks firefighter01
I kinda thought it was the bearing, tightening the bolt seemed to work, but I think it needs new bearings at least.

yep the swing arm bearing going out about there is common... check out NYROC's site for several creative fixes to help them last longer...

 

Dont ride your bike until you get it fixed i learned that the hard way having to pay $800 for new cases.
