The swingarm spindle, also known as the swingarm axle, is a crucial component of a motorcycle's rear suspension system. It is a large, hardened steel rod that passes through the swingarm and connects it to the motorcycle's frame. The spindle allows the swingarm to pivot, which is essential for absorbing bumps and maintaining rear wheel stability during riding. Proper installation and maintenance of the swingarm spindle are vital for ensuring smooth and controlled rear suspension movement, contributing to overall handling and safety.
