Swing Arm Travel-1971 CB750 Four

jeremy
I've been waiting for an excuse to come back and be waited on here by you good folk. My old lady inevitably obliged me before too long.

Question 1.
Swing Arm- Does one check for free play/movement while the bike is on the ground or on the center stand? I have slight movement when on the center stand and can detect none when bike is on the ground with no rider.

Question 2.

Rear Sprocket-are the nuts supposed to tight? I just noticed my sprocket had some freeplay and the nuts were'nt slack.

Thanks in advance!

There should not be any free play in the swing arm period. You probably need new bushings. Also the sprocket bolts should be tight. They should also have a keeper on them, or locktite.

Tools, when you say swing arm do you mean the arm you use to push your kids on a swing? No seriously thanks man for the answer!
