Swingarm Pivot Sperical Bearing

[Hendogg]

 
Pressed out the old Cleaveblocs
Pressed in Sperical bearings
First one went in no problem
Second one went in but seems like it doesn't want to move
as freely as the other one.
Installed the swingarm.
No lateral movement... nice
No radial or torsional movement.... Nice
But the up and down seems kinda stiff...
Kind of worried about stiction.
What du you guys think?
Run it  or DON'T run it ?

I just replaced my spherical swing arm bearings on my 08. I had broken my transmission rear mount for the swing arm shaft and was inspecting my spherical bearings in my swing arm assembly for my trike and had one loose and one stiff. I pressed the new spherical bearing in the swing arm assembly while Im waiting on a transmission and now both new bearings are stiff.

I would say its suppose to be stiff to start and would loosen up some over time.
