Blown motor mount?
think i have a blown rear motor mount.
when riding down the road when i hit the slightest bump i feel a bang directly under my ***, upon deceleration i feel a vibration that feel like the back wheel is about to fall off, this only happens when decelerating, and around 20 mph, hold the front brake give a little throttle and let out clutch a little and the motor seem to be moving forward..
recommendation on which mount? i haven't had a chance to go beyond speculation as i haven't had time yet. i also thinking about replacing swing arm bushings while im there bike has almost 45k, and swing arm bushings aren't on the maintenance records

The swing arm it's shaft and bushings and the back of the trans are all connected together.
Look good at all that and inspect swingarm for any cracks of breaks
Don't think I'd be riding it until things are ck'd out'

that im aware of no. Bought the bike last yr from original owner, 65 yr old retired school teacher. From what I could see its pretty stock. Has a cam, dont know specs, a screaming eagle ignition.
I replaced the bars, new seat, and but newer air shocks in the back, as the 14lb rated ones where shot. Other then that it looks pretty stock.
