i just did it a few days ago, wanted to check the tightness, everything was good, but i didn't have a problem holding the right hand bolt still while I torqued the nut on over it. just tightened it down and it never moved from where it was put in....
everyone make sure u see that the bolt on the right is in INCH POUNDS not FOOT POUNDS!!!!

Re: swingarm tourque
Can anyone tell me why my Vmax service manual 95 says replace the cone bearings and collars. On the internet it says the bearings are needle bearings and when removing the swing arm they are roller bearings. Are the torque numbers above for roller bearings. [email protected]

Re: swingarm tourque
It says that because that is what they are....the internet is wrong or relating to another bike.
To avoid the potential confusing foot/ pounds with inch/ poounds try Newton meters (Nm)
Which is 100 Nm for the left hand pivot bolt and lock nut and 6 Nm or the RH pivot bolt
