"...Then you install the castellated preload collar onto the spindle and tighten it down while you tug the swingarm gently from side to side. When all the side play has been removed and the swingarm only moves in a rotary manner up and down you can give it a few more degrees of turn, twenty or so degrees at most, to preload the bearings and then tighten the two pinch bolts that prevent the collar from rotating."

Hi Pete,
I finally installed the new bearings and followed your recomendations above for the adjustment.
Would you recommend to readjust the bearings preload after a couple of hundred miles (in case the parts settle down and reduce the preload)?
It is not a big deal to do it, once it is only necessary to remove the left footpeg plate...

Just lift the bike under the sump so the back wheel is off the ground, (It’s rear heavy so the front will need tying down.) or use a lift that fits on the footrest plates like the HB or factory lift. Once the wheel is off the ground grab it and tug the wheel an swingarm from side to side. If there is any play in the bearings adjust it out.
