Shock rubbing on swingarm??
Posted: 12:52 pm Dec 29 2007
I am wrapping up the maintenance on the swingarm and rocker arm bearings. While tightening up the swingarm bolt I noticed that the shock spring is rubbing against the swingarm; if you are sitting in place of the rear wheel and look towards the front wheel, the lower right side of the shock is contacting the swingarm.
I don't remember this happening before, but things definitely look crooked back there. Has anyone ever encountered this? Everything looks like it went back together OK, but this is new to me.
I guess I could unload the rear spring and rotate it, but that is a hassle and I've never had to do it before. I need a reality check before I go any further.
Thanks!
