I need some help on my rear suspension. I have a 99 400ex and I just trail ride with it, no racing. The rear suspensions been on it's way out since I bought the bike and I want to fix it up.
I haven't sat and shook it down to see all whats bad, but just from riding and quick looks the hubs are pretty wobbly on the axles, I'm pretty sure it needs new carrier bearings, (i know its not suspension but) I got a new rotor for the rear because the old one was warped and it would wobble. I have a new chain already for it and the sprockets are good. I replaced the swingarm bushings and put a new swingarm bolt in (guess why!).
So considering I'm not racing, I don't think I need to build it up super strong, but I'd like to overhaul it just to get it all in good working order. What would you guys suggest? I'm kinda new to the rear suspenion stuff, so whatever you guys thing would be good to upgrade tell me. Thanks
