Swingarm stress

Havin a bit of trouble with my swinger.
Thought it was just worn bearings/bushes, but the more i look at it - the more i think its somet else. The bearings and bushes look fine.

The problem i have is when the swingarm pivot bolt nut is tightened to about 60Nm, the swinger tightens up - the correct torque is 100Nm - at that i dont think the swingarm would move :shock:

All the parts for the swingarm are present as to the doc.

Ive noticed the bushes in the engine block are actually half a mil shy of the outer flat surface. When you look through the bushes you can see two gaps in the centre. I cant seem to find what i should have in the engine block.

Surely the engine block bushes should be flat with the casing face?

Any help appreciated

Yeah, definately worn a ring on the engine bushes, just ordered some from ya :wink:

Thought it was the bearings etc but theyre all good

How the frig do you get the rear crankcase bushes out for the swingarm? :?: 8O

I dont think this is going to end well...

Done it!!!!!! Managed with engine still in frame. Made an heath robinson puller method, an give it a good tap with a hammer from other side. They came out pretty easy :cheers:

These are the 'special' tools required:
