    Hi Guys,
    I'm in the process of reassembling the bike and I find when I put the swingarm in place (with the wear shims on each side) I still have a .098" gap.
    Do you guys shim this tight or just squeeze the frame together to tighten the swingarm bolt?
    Thanks for any help.

    .050 per side isn't much... the frame will flex that much with the swingarm bolt.

    Thanks T,
    I'll tighten it up and go.
