Linkage

Being that this is my first bike with a linkage suspension, I thought I would take the linkage apart and make sure the bearings had a decent coating of grease.   I removed all the spacers and inspect.  Everything looked good, so I resembled.

Be sure to align the slice in the wash with the dog leg.  This is nice as it prevents the bolt from turning when tightening.


I added a dab of blue loctite to all the bolts and torqued to spec:  All linkage bolts to 80 Nm, and the swingarm Pivot to 100 Nm.
