Is my swingarm installed correctly?
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 10:08 pm
I've had a the back end of the bike apart over winter to give it all a check over, a clean and a regrease.
It's now all back together but i've spotted something i'm not 100% sure about.
There is quite a large gap bewteen the swing arm and the frame where they meet, on the inside on the right hand side.
Can anyone confirm if this gap is normal?
I follwed all the instructions for reinstalling the swingarm and torquing the adjuster etc but it doesn't look that gap should be there to me.
Its about a 2-3mm gap.
There doesn't appear to be any lateral play.
