Ok I have a 1999 honda 400ex that bought about a month ago. I was going through tighting bolts and just doing routinge maintance. When I came to the rear caliper mount I noticed that there was substantial amount of play in the mount. The one thing that I need to know is this possibly an incorrect part or just possibly has to much wear and tear.

I am posting a video to show you what I am talking about.

Thanks,

looks worn out to me. There is also a o-ring that goes inbetween the caliper mount and carrier that could be gone.

I went back and double checked for the oring. There was no oring, but with the oring in place how much play would be reduced.

mine has play up and down, try rapping some tape or somehting around the peice that bolts to the swingarm (in the middle)

its not a problem really.

mine has about the same amount of play but its becuause my bearings blew out a ways from home and by the time i got home the carrier was honed out the spacer in there was about 1mm thick and streched right alogn the axle!
