ASSEMBLY STEPS
Follow these steps to properly install the main pivot
axle:
1. On drive side: tap axle in until in contact with the
frame bearing.
2. Install the shim on non-drive side of the pivot
axle.
3. Position swingarm flush to drive end of axle.
4. Temporarily tighten non-drive pivot clamp bolt.
5. Install the FD adapter and mounting bolt and
tighten it. This will cause the pivot assembly to
align properly.
6. Loosen left pivot clamp.
7. Use preload screw to preload the bearings.
8. Tighten right pivot clamp, 5Nm, (44 inLbs).
9. Tighten left pivot clamp, 5Nm, (44 inLbs).
10. Tighten preload screw, 3 Nm, (26.5 inLbs).
REMOvAL
1. Remove the FD adapter from the pivot axle.
2. Remove the preload screw and loosen both
swingarm clamp bolts.

KEY INFORMATION
A special service tool
KP169/ contains parts
necessary to service the assembly. The parts of this
tool are shown shaded above.
When connecting the seatstays to the dropouts,
always insert the small end of pivot spacers into the
dropout bearings .The flat side of the spacers should
face out, as shown.
When tightening the axles, insert the 5mm hex
key completely into the axle to prevent damage
when turning the bolt. Always tighten with a torque
wrench to the specified torque.
MAINTENANCE
The condition of the bearings, pivot axles, and
spacers should be inspected periodically. These are
normal wear parts so plan to have them renewed as
they wear-out.
Inspection frequency should be based upon how
and where you ride. Evidence of damage would be
excessive play, visisble wear, or perhaps corrosion of
bearings.
If you find any damage to the parts, discontinue
riding until all the parts (bearings, pivot axles,
spacers) can be renewed. This will help prevent
damage elsewhere.
See the kits list in the back of this supplement for
renewal kits.
