there is a knock in the back end, feel it going over bumps and speeding up and slowing down. it feels a little off cornering as well.
i suspect the rear swing arm bushes, does this sound right?
if so how hard to replace these?

Not too hateful, IIRC you have to support both the bike, engine, and the swingarm and just pull the sideplates, then its a matter of unbolting, aligning the new bushings, and reinstalling. They do also support the back end of the engine, so make sure to get them put in correctly : )

you say aligning the new bushings, can it go back together aligned wrong or if the bolt goes through it is right?
