my raptors axle went loose while riding yeasterday and i had to limp it home how do i no if my bearing carriar is messed up?

 

just replace them anyways their are inexpensive, and did you axle come loose in the first place?

 

ya it came loose at first and then my chain loosened up and i just limped it home when that happened iam going to replace the bearin and seals but i keep hearin that if u mess the bearing carrier up its bad i dunno? how do you like that ct full racing pipe?

 

look at my pics and my dyno numbers and you tell me.

 

carrie a set of channel locks or the axle nut tightener thing in ur truck. that way if it happens again u can fix it there. pull it apart and check and see if its worn.

 

lol know i no that

 

Listen, forget this "just replace it" etc. Unless that guy is willing to foot the bill and do the work.(Messy job and for what, if that is not the problem). Put the bike up onto jackstands. or easier yet a floor jack. right up under the engine towards the rear to make the rearward portion come up and not the whole bike including front wheels. You want the tires and rear suspension to just hang there. No weight on them. This will free up any loose joints. Wiggle the bike and wiggle the tires. wiggle the axls, front to back, side to side. You will almost positively see where the loose connection in and common sense will take over. Trust yourself and just really inspect where all of the loose connections are. The tire bone is connected to the hub bone, the hub bone is connected to the axle bone, the axle bone is connected to the bearing carrier housing bone, and finally the housing bone is connected to the chain adjuster mounting bracket bones adn from there to the swingarm and the swingarm pivot point to the main bike frame. Swingarm pivots can also get so bad that the chain can derail. Look at the connections. I think you should get the picture. Good luck.
