StaBo I issue's

[Ancient]

I had the swingarm off of my 00' RK and have installed the new inner bushings to the recommended .03" protusion on the sides, I put it back together using new rubber mounts and the external bushings that go in the rubber mounts, torqued the pivot to 45' lbs., the pins on the brackets are aligned with the slots on the mounts and everything is good right?

So, with this set up, the rubber mounts turn with the swingarm. This can't be right can it? I figure somebody here has dealt with this before. If it is right, the bracket pin will just tear a slot in the mount. Of course the inner surface of the mount is clamped up to the new Delrin bushing by the pivot so it kind of has to turn with it. Am I missing something, or concerned about nothing?

Did you fit the round teflon spacer between the rubber bushing and the delrin swing arm bushing? it is very thin.   that is a OEM part,

John,
I did consider that, but didn't install them. I called StaBo yesterday and asked a few questions. According to them, the inside of the mount is supposed to be against the delrin bushing and should not move with it. The OE spacer is not supposed to be used in there. I am using brand new mounts and they believe there is some rubber on the inside surface from the manufacturing process that needs to be cleaned off, which I'll look at tonight.

Ok,  I know I have reuse the spacers and have not had a issue on three bikes I have use them on.  all three are great riding bikes now.

I cleaned off the inboard side of the mounts and re-assembled and it's working as advertised now. If it hadn't, I would have put the spacers in. I don't think they would hurt a thing being in there.
