Hi a bit of advice please. ..View attachment 5202

This is a swing arm from a 99 / 00 rsvr - question is - is there a bearing in the suspension connection? ?

Haynes manual says yes... af1 swing arm expanded diagrams are not clear (they show 3 needle bearings but only show them on the dog bone) - the bush is not budging with a bit of rubber mallet action??

Thanks dr d.. info is greatly appreciated. However it doesn't really deal with the question of - is there a bearing in the swingarm connection? Logic would dictate there is.. but the info available is not crystal clear. .

Currently the bush is rock solid... and I fear damaging the swingarm if I give it too much Mallet action. .. (a hydraulic press is not available. ..)

see other answer - yes there are two bearings + 2 seals + bush
