Hi, Just a quick question re the swingarm bolt. Is there a particular torque setting this should be done to or just tight as you can get it sort of thing?

Thanks

Many thanks for that helpful bit of info. All good over here - now that the sun has come out (been raining and flooding around the city!). So ... did you head to the zoo and have a chat with Wills and Kate??

Some early swing arm bolts were not threaded enough and gave a false torque setting. Make sure the washer covers the first few threads off the frame by the nut side. If it doesn't, add a washer under the bolt head on the other side. I actually prefer to have a washer under the bolt head anyways.

Good tip re the bolt and washers. I'll ease the nut off and check where things are at. Ta
