Percy Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi, I have heard the bolt holding the rear swingarm needs to be well maintained, or it costs big bucks to fix/replace. Does it just need to be regularly greased, or do I need to do more than that? Thanks for any help, Percy-Zn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotulMonsta Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 I run Molybendum disulfide (spelling) grease in all my bushings and bearings. It's great grease..I have swing arm bearing and axle bearings hitting their 4 year mark on this stuff. I race MX so everything takes a beating and if you can get a year out of your swingarm bearings..that's good..so 4 years is fucking outstanding. If you ride through a lot of water, you'll need to lube up your stuff more often..like once a month but If you run in dry areas you can go as long as three months. If you have bad seals, no amount of lubing will save you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Anyone ever dicked with the swingarm bolt on a 400EX? I've never had issues with mine, but I pull it & grease it for shits when I get bored or on a rainy day. Holyman's got the right idear though...
