CrazyHorse Posted August 12, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2008 How does one tell if the swing arm is damaged? I also cant get grease to go into one fitting. Took it off cleaned it out but still grease wont go into fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted August 12, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 12, 2008 My guess (and thats all it is) would be it move side to side. Does it wallow alot in the twisties? Mind you wallowing could be alot of other things too. Maybe just put er up on center stand and see if you can move it side ways....hmmmm....maybe that wont work as the drive shaft might prevent you from exerting enough force to compare with riding.

Gearhead Posted August 12, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 12, 2008 Do you have reason to suspect damage? I wouldn't think this happens very often. I'd say put it on the centerstand and eyeball it carefully from different angles, esp. from directly behind. Is the wheel vertical? Does everything look normal? Then it's probably OK. If it wiggles side-to-side the main pivot bearings are bad or misadjusted. Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyHorse Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted August 12, 2008 Im finishing rebuilding after a low side crash last year. It looks ok but was wondering about not being able to get grease into the fitting on the one I cant remember from the last time I greased the fittings last year if I had a problem.
