I've removed my rear swingarm for service and have noticed that the relay
arm has quite a it play in it between the bolt that mounts it to the frame
and it's bushing (not much play between the bushing and the bearings
though). Also when I unscrewed the nut from this bolt (which has a round
head with a flat spot on one side to match a locking tab on the frame to
keep it from turning) the locking tab on the frame broke away allowing the
bolt to turn. I have picked up a grade 8 metric bolt with a standard head
and plan on using it to replace the OEM bolt, but it also has the same play
inside the bushing. Maybe this is an area that doesn't require a precise
fit but I would like to see less free play. Any ideas?
I was also wondering if anyone has ever added grease nipples to these parts
due to the difficulty in getting them out (Ie: removing the center stand).
Thanks
