Bearings in my 250sx!!!help!

[crd00]

I just put brand new swing arm bearings in my 1985 250sx and the bike was solid after I put them in. I drove it for a little bit and the swing arm has a little bit of play in it. I tightened the bolt up on the right side and it still had play! Can someone PLEASE tell me what to do

When I replaced the bearings in my old 250ES I had tighten one side a little then the other a little. I repeated this until I got them tight enough. The first time I tightened one side down all the way then the other. It wasnt right. The swingarm wasnt equally spaced on both sides either. Check the spacing on each side to see if they are equal. If not this may be your problem.

thankls anyways but I figured out the problem. Theres a spacer on the bolt that comes out of the swing arm. Its a nut but a spacer. I had to adjust the spacer back from the frame so the bolt could go further in. Theres no play now:w00t: :p :TrikesOwn
