It’s time for new tires, so I went to the dealership today for a routine, out-patient procedure. Halfway through, the tech summons me and says “come look at this”. Bike is on the lift and he grabs the rear tire and wiggles it from left to right demonstrating something around a half inch of lateral slack in the swing arm. OS! I had three wide-eyed techs standing there saying they’ve never seen a swing arm bushing that far gone.

The bike is now in for surgery and won’t be home for at least a week. Hopefully it’s just the bearings and the damage hasn’t spread to the swing arm itself.

Seems like premature failure as far as I know. Crossing my fingers that my extended warranty will cover some of the cost.
