While out riding yesterday I hit a pretty good frost heeve and heard a "bang". I pulled over as soon as I could and looked things over ... saw nothing that stood out. Got back on the bike and bike handled fine. When I got home I started to look a little closer at thing. The bang sounded like it came from swingarm area (I know noise travels). Around the swingarm bolt covers I noticed a copper color "dust". I looked through the manual (if that's what you want to call it) and found a torque spec of 100 ft lb The right side was at 100 the left side LOOSE ... probably 1.5 turns to reach 100 lb. My questions:
1) Can I torque the bolts with weight on swingarm (on the ground)
2) Should I be pulling the swingarm to check bushings etc?
3) Any other advice you all might have.
Thanks,
Don
