I just replaced the my stock rear shock with a newly rebuilt one that I replaced the bearings in, in an attempt to remove some of the obsessive play in the rear end, I had trouble getting the two metal spacers in place on the bottom of the shock, it seems as though the mounting point was bent at some point. Should I try to straighten this out so I can fit them? or are they not a big deal?
Also there is less play but still not all of it is gone, when I pull up on the grab bar I see the main movemnt between the swinger bolt and frame, Currently I do not have the motor in place or the swinger bolt tightened, Could this be causeing it?
Yea could be. Check swingarm bolt excesses wear and bearings. But it could just need everything bolts ed together to.
I'll have to check it over when this work week is over.
When I took the motor out I was kinda suprised that there was only two rubber bushings between the motor and the swinger arm sides. Is that really all there is or am I missing something?
