Thanks Fred, I figure that was the case. Just wanted to check.

The bolts should be tight to the suspension linkage. It is the bearings that will move when your bike goes up and down.

rough engine after tipping over

Hope you guys can help me. I hurriedly parked my trusty '95 while I went to look at something off the trail. I returned 30 seconds later to find it tipped over; I hadn't noticed the ground was soft. I pulled it upright, started it up and rode away. After a few seconds, it began running very roughly. If I tried to idle it below 3,000 rom, it would start to die. When I got to a stopping place, I shut it down and poked around, looking for something obvious.
It would not restart.
I removed the gas line from the tank to make sure fuel was flowing as I cranked the motor. No problems there. As I did this, fuel drained out from the carb. When I reattached the hose, the motor started up quickly, but ran in the same rough way.
The weather is really beautiful today; I'm anxious to get going again. Any ideas?
Kevin

Kevin,
I wonder if the float in the carb might have got stuck open and it's
running rich. Maybe try banging on the side of the float bowl with a
hammer handle or screwdriver handle and see if that knocks it loose.
Best,
