Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The parts are all original Yamaha. I have only replaced the bearings, seals and teflon bushes. I used a block of wood and sockets to tap the parts into place but the bearing housings on the swingarm itself are not aligned. I have not checked if the same thing happens before I sent the parts for powder coating but if the heat won't warp it then something else went wrong.
I have not tried fitting the swing arm with the engine in the frame, but out of the frame the swingarm bolt will not go all the way through. You have to force it through with the help of a hammer and then you cannot turn it with your hand.
At least now I know its supposed to go through both bearing housings with no problem. I'll just try and fit it with the engine in the frame and see what happens.
Thanks again kito.
