06 Pro Suspension Linkage

[beta-boy]

ok

so i've pulled the rear linkage in my 06 300 pro, to re-pack the bearings and give everything a once over, now i haven't done this for a couple months(my bad) but anyways moving on, when i pulled it apart i had 6 of the thin washers, now i know where 4 of them go, but where do the other two go, i've looked through my manual and i only see 4 in all the linkage, theres not too many places they can go, so any thoughts?

also whats an exceptable amount of play(up and down) in the swingarm?

thanks

pretty sure that they go outboard of the linkage plates which bolt 38 goes through on underside of swinging arm with top hat bushes in. As regards play 2 to 3 mm but should be as tight as poss.

Hi Jesse,

I agree with pandleboy, almost, the 2 other shims/washers go on the outside of the two top hat shaped bushes, between the gold rocker link arm and the bushes - just had a look on my 06 300.

Remember to grease the shperical rod end bearing in the shock too.

There seems to be a little play from new in the linkages. As little up and down movement as possible is best. I use Mobil HP waterproof grease which seems to work well in our wet conditions.

If you are riding lots of creek/river type sections and are not a modern splat attack up massive, dry rock steps, I'd recommend fitting a flywheel weight - great improvement on low end power delivery.

Bye, PeterB.
