NOTICE
Do not remove the bearings for inspection. Removal may damage them.

The rollers and ball in a bearing normally wear very little, and wear is difficult to measure. Instead of measuring, visually inspect the bearing for abrasion, discoloration, or other damage.
If the needle bearing, and sleeve [B] show any sings of abnormal wear, discoloration, or damage, replace them as a set.
If bearing play, roughness, or binding is found, replace the bearing.
If the seal is torn or is leaking, replace the bearing.

Swingarm Bearing Lubrication
NOTE
Since the bearing are packed with grease and sealed, lubrication is not required.
Swingarm Bearing InstallationValve Clearance
Valve and valve seat wear decreases
valve clearance, upsetting valve timing.
NOTICE
If valve clearance is left unadjusted,
wear will eventually
cause the valves to remain
partly open; which lowers performance,
burns the valves and
valve seats, and may cause serious
engine damage.
