Hi All

I`ve just received my frame and swingarm back from powder coating and on assembly I realised that there is a space between the frame and swingarm

The swingarm on the one side there is a collar (a top hat looking spacer) then a long spacer that goes into the swingarm where the bolt goes through, is the 2 maybe 3mm space on the other side suppose to be there or am I missing a spacer or a washer or something.


Thanks MAV

Looking at the fiche, on one end of the bolt you have a castle nut and a threaded adjuster, then the long spacer, then the top hat, and the nut goes on the outside. I doubt the space is a problem, the dogbone linkage on the shock has similar gaps. If there were no gap between the frame and swingarm, they'd rub together and be damaged. I presume there's no gap between the top hat and the inside of the frame, just the swingarm and frame?

Thanx for the reply that is exactly what I saw and thought it just looks wrong

However you are correct on closer insection the swingarm even with the spacing on the sides doesnt move side to side

where did you get the fiche and is there a posibility for passing it on it will help me allot with this rebuild I have the Haynes Manual but it doesnt really cover DUMB if you knbow what I mean

Thanx MAV

I know exactly what you mean. Just saying take part x and put it in place y then do z sometimes makes sense, and other times you look in the book, then look at your bike and think WTF?
