Bike has 39k miles. Figured it was time to re-build swing arm.
sorry for some reason pics aren't automatically opening. My wrench is finishing the job as I type this. Approx 7 hours to complete the job. Was his first rodeo Ducati single sided swing arm build he did. Said it was a PITA for anyone's first job!!
Be careful of the pipes that connect to exhaust canister..Are sharper than a razor blade. Cut the heck out of his hand...Some clear tape and super glue got his hand back together!
All he's doing is replacing the shock assmbly. Said 4 needle bearings. rose joint, and 2 swing arm pivot bearings were in great shape, just needed to be cleaned out and regreased up. All except the pivot bearings they're sealed. He said 2 suspension pivot bearings should last a lifetime of bike and 10 others. Was very surprised why they're sealed, then only make a fraction of turn on every suspension bump is beyond him. The bright side I get to return all these parts back to AMS in Dallas. Almost 200 bucks!
