It is crucial to thoroughly clean the swingarm pivot bore, ensuring it is free from any old grease, dirt, or debris, and check for any burrs or damage before installing the new components.
Verify that all components are correctly aligned and not over-tightened. Ensure no debris was introduced during installation. Check that the needle bearings are properly seated.
Double-check that all parts from the kit have been installed correctly and that the swingarm pivot bolt is torqued to manufacturer specifications. Inspect other suspension components for wear.
