    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

i installed new swingarm bearings, then i noticed that one of them is "reversed" the side with text is facing inside.
i'll hate to ruin this fairly expensive bearing (almost 20$ a pop) trying to extract it.
would it be terrible if i leave it like this?
also, should it go all the way in up against the little shoulder? i used an allthread and 2 large disks to insert it and the i used the old bearing with a plastic mallet but i couldn't get them more the about 1-2 mm in beyond the edge

it will work fine the direction you have it, although it should be tapped in home against the shoulder. try a socket to tap it in if you can find the right size that will tap the bearing in without getting jammed in the swingarm
