Swingarm Play

[KontoBoy]

I've got about an 1/8 inch of free play at the end of my swing-arm on my "YZF750" track bike. Not good.<br><br>My first inclination is to pull it apart and check the shaft and bearings and if all is good, repack, reassemble and torque. But the manual is telling me if I remove the bearings then I'll need to replace them. (Drifting them out will damage them).<br><br>So before I do that, any insights on where the play may be coming from? Should I go ahead and bite the bullet and buy new bearings? Shaft? (If I can source them).<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Kontoboy <p></p><i></i>

bike bandit dot com has yur parts<br>I'd think you need the shaft too, It's called a bush. and the flat bearings (thrust washers) seals and all...<br>Just bought all that stuff for a Suzuki I have, so I feel your pain<br>Jim <p></p><i></i>

Thanks Jim. I added it up and it looks to be about $120 in parts (plus shipping) for all new bearings, bushings and seals. <br><br>Not as bad as I thought but still about the cost of a track day!<br><br>Kontoboy <p></p><i></i>
