Hi Experts.I'm about to try and get the swinging arm bushes out, they look like brass and I'm replacing them with new brass one's. I'm sure I read on here somewhere the best way to get the old one's out is to cut them with a hacksaw.Before I start is there anything I need to be careful of or look out for?.TaJulie
Julie, You can not compare a CBR against a CB400. Worlds apart mate.A bit skippy can be shocks and wobbly could be down to low pressure in the rear tyre.
Also check wheel bearings.
Play at the back wheel on mine turned out to be due to the RH wheel bearing being a bit of a sloppy fit in the hub.... I suspected that the nearly new Honda plastic? swingarm bushes were to blame but they seem ok if the swingarm is pulled about with the wheel removed.Hub wear is common with these old alloy hubs after a few bearing changes.I need to measure the clearance to check it's not too much then lock it in with a bearing retaining liquid.
