Swingarm Bushing Replacement
Any tips, tricks or pitfalls? I'm using stock part for replacement.

My brother just did his.
Cost him $35 to have the stealer press out the old, and press in the new. He did not have the tools to press them in. An extra set of hands help it go back in much easier. Follow the steps in the book and all will be good.

He has a press too...just not the bearing installers.
There is one for each side. The bearing installers seat the bearings to the proper depth.

One of my neighbors has a press in his garage.
I made good use of it. 30-40% chance of rain Saturday. Probably a good day for this.

When I do mine, I'm going with Sta-Bo brand bushings. Their claim to fame is lack of need for a tru-Trac or other stabilizers. Not a fan of loosing ground clearance on a bike that I've already replaced the kickstand spring a half dozen times in four years. Lol

Sta-Bo fan here.
They have different bushings dependent on year model; both inside and outside of the actual swing arm

Already have stock part for replacement and throttle up stabilizer. I lean it over pretty good and already have the low hanging parts ground off.

Tried Sta-bo. I give them a thumbs down. Stock bearings and bushings with an Alloy Art TRX stabilizer. Done!
