Rear Tire removed, maintenance Question ???

[valk2128]

I am just doing preventive maintenance as the warm driving season gets going.

Took the rear tire off and checked the drive splines, they are well greased.

The swing arm moves freely and does not bind, there is no side to side play in the swing arm.  
Do I need to remove the swing arm to check the bearings, or have I checked it enough.

Anything other maintenance I should do while the rear tire is off ??

Thanks

I have 117,000 on mine and the swingarm bearings are still fine and tight.

Yes, you should pull the final drive off and check/lube both ends of the drive shaft.

Make sure you assemble according to the HONDA manual or you will do way more harm than good!
