    Swing arm bearing checking & replacement

    After a day out at the local mx track the other day - noticed the tell tale clunk of a dodgy bearing when I pulled the back wheel over from the top. I've only just done the wheel bearings so it's probably not them... It's not a big clunk but there nevertheless. Can't really see where the...

    Loose swing arm

    I just got back from an 80 mile ride and the swing arm is getting looser every time out. The nut is tight and it looks like its only the right side. Is this going to be a pain in the *** ? Should I deal with this sooner than later ?

    swinging arm chain protection changes

    I have confirmed that the screws that are intended to hold the chain slider protection on the swinging are are m6 on the 08 models, however, some come with M5 screws? Does anyone know when the screws changed and whether the m6 is better than the m5 and cups that secure the protection strip?

    valve rocker arm thingies. When to replace?

    So, my 05 fe550 barely gets ridden. It only has 5000 miles on it (240 or so hrs). The cam chain still has a couple clicks of adjustment left, but I figure I should replace it before long. I've adjusted the valves 6-7 times over the life of the bike, and they are always pretty close (i use the...
