So, have the swingarm out. Suspension off to get re-built this week so that will be back ready to re-fit in about 3 weeks.

Had a look at the aforementioned torque arm and bushings. Doesn't look too bad apart from being really dry, the larger of the two has a tiny amount of play but does not appear to have any damage.

Is there a wear limit on these things or would I be better off just throwing some new bushings in (items 8 and 9 on the drawing) and making sure they are well lubed up just to be sure to be sure? Seeing as it's such a pain to pull it all apart I kind of would like to avoid having to do it too often and I also need to get one of the other bikes up on the bench to work on it as well.

Cheers.
