I recently purchased a 1985 Honda ATC200X that was too cheap to pass up. The axle had a lot of play in it so I pulled the axle and the axle bearing on the sprocket side was shot (ball bearings fell out with the axle). The axle has been wore down a bit where it rides on the bearing. Is the any way to fix this? Coud any type of "sleeve" be installed on the axle to make it ride right on the bearing? The ATC came with another swingarm and axle, but those bearings seem shot as well so I am thinking it has the same problem.

I would just get a new axle. I would not try and cut corners on somthing like an axle. Sounds like you may need a new carrier as well. If the axle is worn down, i would check the carrier for any major grooves. just my 2 cents:grr:
