To the person who pm'ed me about Fuel pivot specs....

loosening swing arm pivot problem...

It wasn't me who PM'd ya, but speaking about pivots... My swing arm pivot at the frame tube has some up/down slop to it, started about 3-4 mos. after I bought my Fuel 90. my LBS offered to tighten it to torque spec but it only lasted a few more mos. Then they added loc-tight and it's been 4 mos. and it's starting to loosen again! the movement looks like wear, not loosening. anyone have this problem? I need all the plushness I can eek out of my Fuel rear susp!

Could be your bushings are worn out - have you ever serviced them ??? It should be easy to tell if it's play in the bushing or just loose pivot bolts - if bolts are torqued to specs, then it's bushings (.....or - banish the thought - perhaps cracked rear triangle???...hopefully not...) Good luck
