swingarm pivot bolt torque??

[Mitch400EX]

does anyone know the torque for the swingarm pivot bolt? I took the entire rear end apart this weekend and greased up the pivot bearings. Also, anyone know the torque for the bolt attaching the rear shock to the linkage?

i am not sure what it is myself, but mine has been loose and i am having a hard time with it staying tight, my guess is that my pivot polt is rusted to the bearing inside and causing the bolt to move with the swingarm, i am going to try to loctite the nut on there so i don't have to tighted it down so much

Yes, when I removed the bolt it had some suface rust on it, most it scraped off easilly with some wd40 and a toothbrush though. before putting the bolt back it I coated it with grease. It pays to do this every once and a while. You might want to tap the bolt out and do the same. If it isn't rusted, the swingarm pivot bearings might be seized.
