Just curious if any of you have any input on swingarm bearing preload, and if it's necessary or suggestions.
brand new bearings

Every manual I see just stays torque down to about 65 ft lbs but was hoping to get a little insight as to what others might do.

​​thanks for any replies

If that's what the manuals say, I'd go with it. Depending what type of bearing in use, preload may be irrelevant.

 

I don't think preload is a factor with the swingarm bearings on an '07 as they are spherical bearings I think and not timken style (tapered roller) bearings like the '03 and earlier models.
