(dr) Re: DR650 Windshields ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:43:46 -0700 From: "Kurt Simpson" Subject: (dr) Swing arm service... I have my swing arm out on my DR650 and it is the first time I've ever serviced one. The bike has 10,000 miles on it. I'm thinking I'm just looking for any signs of wear or bearing roughness or failure is this correct? I'm putting the bushings back in and rotating them checking for play and smoothness right? I have not removed the bearings as of yet because the manual says when you do replace them. When I put it back together I was thinking I'd use some marine lube I have for the buddy bearings on my boat trailer? Am I on the right track with all this? Also, I've noticed one of the mounting tabs for the chainguard is gone as well as the chainguard. What do I risk if I don't put it back on right away?

Right on kurt, boat trailer grease is good stuff. I do not have a Chain guard on my DR350 so far so good. I have the scotts swingarm on mine with no bracket for it.

When I took the cushion lever apart the needle bearings came apart on one of the bushings. I assume this is an obvious sign of bearing failure...only thing is it happened on both sides of the bushing and made me wonder the bearing was desinged to not be sealed. Is this posible? The manual lists a special bearing puller and installer tool is there a way around the special tool? If I get a special tool is there a universal model that I can use for other jobs? Thanks guys...

But I read an excellent article on your site about windshields and was wondering if you knew a link that I could look up the Clearview windshield site? I cant seem to find it, I looked up the Rifle page and it seems they dont make a windshield for the DR650,,,,Do you know anyone who does?? thanks,,, Tim - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.
