slack in swingarm bushes

what do SM boys do :oops: :oops: :oops:

i have found that the bushes in the swingarm aren't a good fit to the dowels that go through them, it's bad enough off road but i'd hate to be an SM rider!

with slack in the shaft as well the dowels can tilt to their favourite angle. therefore despite the fact that you would think that they only have to put the squeeze on; i think they are still part of the problem!

if any of you have handling problems-this is the place to look!

Dont ask Brendan remember he didnt even want to change his shot wheel bearings until they fell out! :D :D :D And to top it off he let me change then within 8 hours of meeting me and I had already had about 10 beers :twisted: SWEET
 
Thats the next job that i intend to do, just done the head bearings they seemed a little dry so i just repacked them for now. If the headshake is still there new ones will be ordered along with new swingarm bushes if needed.
 
Thats one of the first things I look
for in a used bike is loose swing
arm bushings.I can still remember
when CR hondas had plastic ones.
