Swing arm bearings 961 sport 2017

[Albaby]

I need to change my swing arm bearings due to excessive play. Are the bearings readily available or where can I find the bearing number/type/size. Appreciate any input.

Are you familiar with the swing arm bearing 20nm preload adjustment ? I would check all that first and make sure it’s correct.

Mileage Albaby?

12000 miles, I know it seems low, I will look into the 20nm pre load as mentioned bu Tony A. I admit that I am not aware of this, any further info on this would be helpful. Thanks

Mega common for the frame adjuster to need to be retorqued. You aint preloading the bearings, as they're needle rollers, not tapered seat. But you're taking up the space between all the components including the frame, before sliding the pivot bolt in and tightening that.
I have the correct alignment tool for this.

Thanks for replying. I wish I was your neighbor.

Great info Stu, appreciated. Is the alignment tool easy to obtain or make ?
