07 Vintage Swingarm Pivot Screws

[scra99tch]

Couple questions. 

What is the proper way of setting these?  I never counted the threads sticking out on either side.  Right now I have it where it swings freely and the shaft does not seem to buckle when turning. 

Also the bearings which are FAG 539816A, how should they feel.  They are not crunchy but does feel like the inner race wants to pull out slightly, once I push on the inner race and press in it feels good, but if I use screw driver and turn it from the inside it seems loose. 

I am getting bike ready for national but if I had more time I would order a set just to make sure. 

Also how is the U-joint greased?  It feels great and I noticed that inside the housing there was a little grease splatter but I see no grease fitting.

Thanks

I assume you are talking a modern V7. Just nip them up, don't over tighten or they could snap the lugs off the gearbox.
I have had mine off a couple of times, I can't remember anything special, I just tightened them as I would the wheel bearing on a car.

 Most of the earlier ones(swingarm screws) were adjusted to have similar threads exposed to center the swingarm in relation to the output shaft .
I made a piece of pipe to fit the output shaft snugly and slide through the swingarm carden joint bearing , then counted the exposed threads and
reassembled with same adjustment . A bit of a pain , but after changing them a few times I wanted to eliminate as many variables as possible. Peter

Or, if you're having a hard time counting threads, you can use a vernier caliper depth gauge to even the exposure.
