Rear swing arm binding???

[kouack]

Good day, i did remove my rear swing arm to grease all the bearings, while putting back the swing arm and applying torque(90 ft lbs) , the swing arm has some tension (pre load) IE hard to move up and down, i noticed the swing arm fit tight in the frame (IE the frame is a little narrower than the swing arm????) is this normal???? I remember back in day when putting back together Harley's Soft tail you had to have a small pre load but there was no specific torque. My bike is a TC510 2008 if that can help, thank you.
