Coguaro, X3 etc swing arm
Posted: 13 Jul 2025 06:59
On the Coguaro the swing arm spindle consists of a long bolt which pushes through and then a nut with two washers is tightened,to an unknown torque, to secure it.
On a couple of occasions I have found some side to side play. This proved to be due to the nut coming loose. However I can’t think that this isn’t due to some wear. The bushes have no grease nipples and I do not know if they are metallic or plastic.
Doug has a pair of bronze ones left said to be correct.
My favoured option should it prove necessary would be plastic , Igllidur being suggested as a candidate material.
Anyone able to illuminate me?
