My bike's both rear tires and wheels move seperate from the axle they wiggle a bit pull back and forth i think it has something to do with the rear axle bearings please help

Is the hub wobbling on the axle, or is the axle wobbling in the swingarm?

The hub wobbles on the axle

Remove the hubs, clean the splines onaxle and hub, slap some grease on them, put it back together torquing the nuts to 101# ft.. If the holes for the cotter pin don't line up continue tightening until they do. Install a new cotter pin. Go ride

i had my rear carrier bearing go bad cause my hubs were too wobbly and loose and all the play cause the bearing to collapse and dig into the axle. luckily it is still under warranty so honda had to spend 800 bucks to fix my quad. a little preventative maintenance goes along way.

Wow! How long did you ride it that way? lol My friends have eaten carriers up, but its no 800 bucks. You can replace the carrier and axle for 350 easy, did it get into the swingarm too? Oh well, still under waranty so who cares! haha
