The rollers and balls in the bearing normally wear very little, and wear is difficult to measure. Instead of measuring, inspect the bearings in the swingarm for abrasion, discoloration, or other damage.
★ If the sleeves, needle bearing and ball bearing show any sings of abnormal wear, discoloration, or damage, replace them as a set.
Grease seal and needle bearing lubrication
Refer to the Swingarm pivot lubrication in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.
