It seems that the bolts that are at both ends of the dog bones on my rear linkage worked loose a bit and after tightening them up there is still some play when I have the bike on a stand. The bike is new just this year and I've already greased the entire linkage twice so that I don't wreck the bearings but it seems that riding with the linkage losened has worn at least one of the bearings on the front out. (I can see the play in that area and the rest looks tight) I guess I will replace the bearings at both ends of the dog bones and maybe the dog bones too. What do these parts cost and are the bearings hard to remove? Is there a way to check them for wear?
Does anyone else have a few MM (5-6mm) of play in their suspension? Mine is not too bad but I'd hate to take out more parts if the bearings have gotten beaten to death.
Just looking for anyone with linkage experience. I'm frustrated because I was so careful to not destroy the stuff and did anyway! Argggggg!
