Rear bearings bad?

[Ex907rider]

Okay, so i went n bought some new bearings, because i thought my bearings were goin bad..
How do i know IF they really are bad, and time go change em?
When i put my ex on a stand, and jiggle (up and down, front and back) the axle, there just a very little amount of play.. Enough to see the brake disc move just a tiny bit in the caliper...
Is this normal? or should it be completely solid?
I don't want to take on the task of replacing the bearings just yet, if it isnt necessary.
Please, any advice???

There should not be any movement, make sure your axle lock nut is tight, if your bearings get too bad they will break your carrier and that is way more expensive than bearings....
