How to grease rear suspension & swing arm (part4)

When checking the 'elbow' there is one of the pivots comprising of another two caged needle rollers,this time there's 48 roller needles on each side. I clean same and remove that pesky silicon type seal.

Other pivots are normal needle rollers

Cleaned in petrol.

Heavier needles here...

Wait until the pivots are dry and coat with grease and put the needles and pins back in...(the grease will stop the needles dropping out)





The swing arm is next

Here is the best design I've seen in a long while...before you offer up the swing arm take off this bolt,clean and coat with copper grease.

Screw the bolt back in and offer up the swing arm to the frame....screw this bolt out until it closes the gap between the swing arm and frame,just until you get a firm slide fit.It'll take a couple of attempts but it'll save any hard squeezing and pushing. Put the chain over the front sprocket,put the swing arm axle though the swing arm and tighten it up. Smear axle with copper grease before hand.


Bolt the 'elbow' and the rest of the suspension nuts and bolts back together not forgetting to coat the bolt shanks in copper grease.







Take the two plastic clips apart that'll hold on the shock absorber mud flap.

Put the outer bit into the mudflap and then press in the pin with a screwdriver until it clicks home.

Screw on the brake line bolt after coating it with copper grease.


Put the wheel back on,tighten it up and finally put the moto on the side stand.
Now you can put the centre stand spring back on as it's not under any great tension.

Go have a beer.
