Hello all,
Warrior has been running great and getting ridden hard since I fixed all my carb issues and added some mods, but can't last forever right?
Yesterday rolling up to a buddies one of them noticed my rear left wheel rotating crooked, started looking into it, and it seems to be either a bent rim or a bent axle.
The tire is set on the rim fine(holds air fine) but the movement on the wheel is about a 1/2" side to side as the bike rolls, there no real up or down movement, This was making us believe it was not the axle and it is the rim bent, not sure what other possibilities it could be.
I know that kind of generic and hard to follow the description of the issue.
My question is besides measure the distance from the tire to sprocket as the bike is rolled to tell how crooked it is from one spot on the wheel to another, how can I narrow the problem down? How can I really check to see if my axle isn't bent? I haven't had time to pull the wheel off and really inspect either (wheel or axle).
Could a blown bearing in the rear cause your one tire to rotate funny?
Any comments and insight would be greatly appreciated thanks. Later today I'll snap a quick video of it rotating when I'm on the machine.
