TT250 swingarm lube

On a rainy day it's prime time to do garage stuff. Checking the swingarm on my TT250 sounded like a good idea. This is a new bike so I'm just establishing a baseline. The CSC tutorial is perfect, take a look and you know exactly what needs to be done. I'd rate this as a 1 hour job.

OK, the swingarm and shock pivot point are not needle bearings. They are all bushings. Mine had some grease so I just added a bunch more. More is better in this case. The factory had done a decent job, I just added more and gained a bit more confidence in the the bike.

While I was at it, I took both the swingarm bolt and the axle bolt over to my lathe and added a center punch so now I can accurately measure the swingarm to axle length.
