CARRIER Bearings?????

[honda01400ex]

hey when i put my quad on a stand i can grap the rear tire and wiggle it a little bit up and down are the carrier bearing shot?

sounds like it...

Dunno if you already have or not, but double check the axle nut... They are HORRIBLE. If it is loose at all you will have play in your carrier.

could be the hub also.

the axle nut is on the right side looking at it from the rear.

All good points, check the bolts where you adjust the chain, if they are loose it will wiggle a bit.

i have a stock axle and carrier if you need one ill let it go for $100 you pay shipping. both real good shape.

My carrier baring went out on mine and from the time I notest it was loose it didn’t take long, maybe 30 minuets and it cratered on me.

if its not to bad it should be fine for a little but not for to long. I no people who have rode for some time without them in the best shape. I know a few peopl who have rode with NO swingarm bearings like theyre quads were so old they basically disintegrated or broke off haha and as bad as it was they rode without them risking allot.

good to hear, do what you feel is best. i just hate to see you end up having to spend a lot more than 40 bucks on some bearings. it gets expensive when you are buying carriers and axles when they get wore from not having the bearings in there. even with the deal that big bad gave you it still is a pain. steve

if you ride it with the wiggle it will be hard as ever to get the bearings out. i would take em out now from experience dude
