Hi there!
Since winter is here for stay I decided to do a little maintenance on the bike. I have taken the swing arm/ drive shaft off to check if everything was ok.
Very easy job. Found a lot of grease in bearings. Cool.
-First I notice a bit of rust on the rear end of the drive shaft . I recoat the entire shaft with a thin coat of grease before putting back in.
-secundo: I notice a small slack in the swing arm from left to right (with the wheel off) but seems tight with everything in place.
I have check the dust covers, the right hand side shim, bearings... everything looks fine to me! So After cleaning and regrease everything I decided to put the swing arm in place without changing any parts.
Now I just wondering if anybody done this and found a little slack in the swing arm? Am I right or will have to change something?!
Thanks!
