I've got a 150cc Wildfire/Helix clone that I believe has a rear bearing going bad
I can move the rear wheel about 1/16 of an in when holding at 3 & 9 O'clock position.

I noticed this when changing the rear gear oil

It's got 4900 trouble free miles ( NOT KM'S).

Just curious if anyone else had this issue

I think I can finger bout how to remove the rear wheel etc.

And the best supplier ?

Thanx all

Dave

Just comparing this wildfire to a helix Thanx Dave Attachments:

Somewhat
But I have no noise or grinding
I was just cleaning the wheel and thought I'd check
Very little play, but, there is 'some' play

Thanx
Nice pictures too

Maybe it just needs a little MOJO on the nut. Alleyoop

(hope your bearing issues are resolved) P.S. In that old posting are listed several high quality bearing suppliers.
