Reply To: Swingarm Removal?
Removing the rear pegs does help yes indeed.
Also the swingarm bearings inside have 2 big spacers left & right with a metal-rubber seal closing both ends. It is OK to use the old caps (rubber metal seals) as all you need is a very good high mileage bike greaase (or high temp bike grease works OK too) , they tend to keep some moisture away. Chain will will spin and keep the left side dripping with a bit of grease escaping the chain, so that left side of the swingarm won’t be as dry to be a concern yet.
