YETI 575 2010 rear triangle play
Hi all,
I have a 2010 575 with a BAFANG 1000 HD mid motor which seems to have developed a very slight, but noticeable amount of shudder with play/movement sideways, in the rear triangle. This is apparent when changing gear in riding mode only.
Can this down to worn bearings or perhaps just in need of tightening torque wise.
Anyone out there with experience of similar issues with this model built around that period with or without motor fitted?
Thanks, Staley50.

Did you check to ensure the bottom bracket nuts are still tight? If you have done that, check the play in the pivot bushings (bearings).

YETI 575 main pivot/wishbone bearings wobble.
I first checked for loose motor.., that was locked firm. Then eventually got round to taking off the motor to access the main pivot bearing screws in order to tighten them. They and the wishbone bearing screws were solid.
So it seems I will have to renew the main bearings or probably main + wishbone bearings.
It seems as though no special tools are required and is straight forward enough.., even for my limited ability tech-wise!
KINETIK BIKE BEARINGS UK seem to have all I need for main bearings, and seem like good quality. I see also YETIFAN UK have a 'master rebuild kit' that reads like it includes wishbone bearings.
Cheers, Oscdav.
