Servicing the swinging arm shaft
Check shaft taper using a dial gauge. Place the shaft on two identical reference
blocks. Turn the shaft and move the dial gauge horizontally to determine the
amount of distortion.
Service limit: 0.30 mm.
Servicing the rear suspension drop and drag link
With drop link (1) and drag link (2) still in place (connected to swinging arm and
chassis, respectively), rock them both back and forth in all directions to check for
radial and axial clearance. Some axial clearance in the drop drag link is required
for the swinging arm to achieve the ideal position for proper operation. If any
radial clearance is detected, remove the part from swinging arm or chassis and
check inner spacer (A) and (E), bushings (C), (D) and bearings (B) for wear.
