07 low XL swingarm replacement
Just curious if any of you have any input on swingarm bearing preload, and if it's necessary or suggestions.
brand new bearings
Every manual I see just stays torque down to about 65 ft lbs but was hoping to get a little insight as to what others might do.
thanks for any replies

I don't think preload is a factor with the swingarm bearings on an '07 as they are spherical bearings I think and not timken style (tapered roller) bearings like the '03 and earlier models.
