Have a question regarding how "free or un-free" the swingarm should feel. I'm in the process of installing an extended swingarm and as it sits right now the rear wheel and the shock are both off of the bike. I followed the service manual and used the torque specs for the pivot shaft bolt and nut. Now it just seems like it takes a lot of effort to move the swingarm up and down, but I don't recall how the stock one felt. Right now, the tail of the bike is hanging in the air and the swingarm will stick straight out or at whatever angle you want it. I thought it would drop down to the ground but again, I don't remember how the stock one acted. Anybody noticed the same or different? Thoughts?
