I was at a mechanic's shop and a guy I knew happened to already be there. He had just bought a TRX850 and he rode it straight to the mechanic to get it looked over. He rode it I'd guess about 100 miles to get to the mechanic. I was talking to him and we were admiring the bike and the mechanic came out and started giving it a once over. He put his arm over the back of the bike and flexed the back end side to side and he noticed movement in the rear so it looked like there was wear in the bearings in the rear suspension but it turned out the axle nut was completely loose. You could spin it off by hand. I don't know how he didn't feel it when he was riding but luckily it stayed on.
