Remove the bushings.
-
Clean all the parts with a dry cloth.

Lubricate the bearings and the bushings

Reassemble the unit, starting by securing
-
the connecting-rods to the frame, using
the bushings with an inner diameter of 8
mm and the special M screws.
Secure the relay-arm to the swingarm,
-
using the bushings with heads which are
2.5 mm thick and the M 10x75 screw, and
to the shock absorber (M10x45 screw).
Then mount the connecting rods on the
