First tire change

Well did my first tire change with my Harbor Freight tire changer. Went pretty well need to perfect my system a little but tires are on and the bike runs smooth. :) BUT, during the rear tire removal I noticed the back part of the Right rear swing arm had a lot of play at the joint. Apparently the pin roller bearing is bad.(parts on order.)  :mad:.  Seems a little early to be having problems with them only 25,000 miles. Wondering if anyone else has had any issues. Or any secrets I might need to know when changing them? Let you know what I find after the repair. PS. can't tell anything is wrong while riding it.
