The bushings are exchangeable. For that pur-
pose you will have to dismount the rear swing
arm and send it together with the axle via
your specialist dealer to HP V

ELOTECHNIK

.After

having been mounted the bushings are ma-
chined to adjust them.

Undoing the axle screws

In order to mount the rear rack or the
lowrider the axle screws have to be undone.
We recommend you to leave one screw in
place to prevent the axle from turning.

In case the rear swing arm is to be dismount-
ed completely you can prevent the axle from
turning by inserting a thin metal rod in the
hole of the axle through the drilling of the
rear swing arm under the axle.

Swing arm pivot

Swing arm pivot

The rear swing arm pivot comes with mainte-
nance free bushings.They have a self lubricating
system with Teflon particles.The bushings sus-
tain a very high load and they show almost no
wear.

In case you notice play or a creaking noise at
the rear swing arm please check the two
screws that keep the axle in the frame.They
have to be secured with L

OCTITE

.

Tightening torque: 17-19 Nm

Danger!

If the screws at the axle are not

tight enough this leads to play and noises
when the spring compresses. In extreme
cases the swing arm may come loose which
leads to a serious fall. If the screws are too
tight the thread of the axle may tear out or
the screw may be damaged.

Caution!

There has to be a big washer be-

tween the main frame and the end of the
bushing else the bushing is not able to func-
tion without play and the frame will be dam-
aged.

You can prevent the axle from turning by inserting a thin metal
rod in the hole of the axle.
