Inspecting the swingarm pivot
Measure the swingarm pivot shaft (1) runout using a dial gauge:
-place the pivot shaft (1) on two reference blocks of the same size;
-rotate the shaft and move the gauge horizontally;
-read off the runout.
Service limit: (0.3 mm) (Sect. 3 - 1.1,
Rear wheel).
Renew the pivot shaft when distortion exceeds the specified limit or if cracked or otherwise damaged.
Checking swingarm end float
The shim thickness (22) is to be determined on refitting the swingarm.
Check the end float as follows:
-insert a 1.8 mm shim (22) on either side of the engine;
-hold the left arm of swingarm (8) against the engine and measure the clearance on the other side of engine using a
feeler gauge or calibrated shims.
