Yes that would be the rear bearings.

I am not mechanically inclined to do that, and dont want to waste the money on finding out. I was looking into motor rebuilds, and chrome casings etc, but everthing is so expensive. Also, I can't believe that new A-arms and shocks cost around 3 grand.

When the bearings go out completely, the bike is going to run extremely slow, and it is really difficult to do wheelies. Have you ever had rear bearings go out on your bike?

Not sure, I will check, but i am almost positive that the jugs are stock.

The rear bearings.

What about the speed of the bike, even with the bad bearings, is that an indicator of there being motor work?????

I recently purchased a 2002 banshee. The second owner claims that the original owner, (I am the third owner), had the motor bored 60 over to a 410. I didn't pay big bucks for it b/c there were no receipts to prove it. However the bike is extremely fast, and I just had is serviced and found out the barrings were completely trashed, and even with the bad bearings that bike was super fast. So I am wondering if this is in indicator of the bike having the motor work down. Any tips or suggestions on how I can find out with out taking apart the motor??
