Does anybody make a new rear axle?
After the new bearings still locking up rear tire.
The rear axle has some play in it.
Wondering if the play could be putting the gear in a bind??

Before you buy a shaft for no reason remove the gear cover and gears to check to be sure the bearings spin and the landing is not marred up. The shaft will not fix your problem unless it is bent. I've heard someone say they bent theirs but personally I've never seen it happen. More than likely a bearing has gone bad for the input shaft, that happens more than anything on these and kymco engines.

I just replace the bearing and still doin it I also replace bearing in the cover The shaft seems to have to much play in the bearing possibly putting gears in bind??? I don't what else it could be
