Tapered swing arm bearings

#1 PostAuthor: JimBoUK » Thu Dec 10, 2020 6:24 pm

Hi folks,
So a while back I picked up a JMC deep braced swing arm for my GPZ1100 B1.
It’s a steel one, not ally.
The JMC has taper bearings where the original one has needle roller bearings.
After a google I can see you can get taper bearings for some swing arms.
How’s this gonna work ?
If I tighten the swing arm bolt to the recommended torque won’t it be too tight for the taper bearings ?

no the spacer between the two bearings determine the preload on the bearings
