Swingarm Bearing?

[doug]

Hey Guys,

 

Think this is the swingarm bearing that needs replacing?  I'm not seeing any movement, which is making this difficult to figure out.  Axle seems fine as well.

 

 

Thanks.

You need to get the ass end off the ground...with a block or jack in the center. Then wiggle/twist the swingarm.

I've done that - normally I'd see play somewhere, but I don't see anywhere.....

Might be shock bushings making the noise.

No sound when jump up and down in bike, only side to side - thought maybe someone had heard this noise before...can't be the only bansaw this has occurred on.

Looks to me like the footpegs are moving up and down.

Linkage?

Possibly frame flex? Have ya looked while somebody else is rocking it? Sounds horrendous!

Finally figured this out....stupidly, it was the carrier bolts - they where slightly loose.  Enough to cause that horrible goddamn sound.  I'm putting her back together now.  Thanks for the help fellas.
