Re-fitting torque arm

[PIGGLET]

When re-fitting the torque arm (1100) the instructions i followed were to "add 86KG load to a the free-standing bike". Presumably this just means dropping it off the centre stand and putting a suitably portly person aboard
Thats what I've done any way but thought I'd better check it's not 87KG on the back wheel whilst its on the centre stand, which technically wouldn't be free-standing
Want to make sure its right before it gets launched off the local hump back bridge when put back into service

That's what I do and nothing bads happened yet.

It's so the rubber bush is "clamped up" in its normal riding position - ie with you on board. Allows maximum twist in either direction when loading and unloading suspension.
