Hi Everybody, Just had the swing arm off on my XS400 (twin cam, monoshock). Happy to find (aftermarket?) needle bearings in there in good shape and only needing a cleaning and fresh grease. But when I reinstalled the swing arm, it binds when I torque it anywhere near what the book says (65...

Hi everybody, This is my '82 XS400. All the work on it was done by a friend, who sold me the bike a few years back. All I've done with it is ride it -- it's fun on local roads. This winter I'm stripping it down to give it a good cleaning and tidy it up, especially the wiring. I'm redoing...
