XT600 Swing Arm 'Stiff'
Hi - I lurk around here a lot and it helps greatly thanks. I'm rebuilding a 3TB 1991 (slowly).... so to the question:
I've removed the swingarm and linkage, replaced bearings and bushes packed with grease and reinstalled and torqued (no rear shock yet) and there's no sideways play but it seems stiff to 'waggle' up and down. No real effort required, but with it up in the air, the swingarm will not drop to the floor of its own accord (which it did prior to new bearings etc). Is this right? It doesn't strike me as a great problem as the shock and rear wheel should keep all in order but I guess I was expecting a looser rotation.
Cheers
Jim
