Mille Swingarm

#1 Post by mrapriliafalco » Mon May 31, 2010 6:40 pm

Was just wanting to know if this process is difficult or not, and is the wheel base longer as my chain has not a lot of play left.
I know of the link to change it but just wondered what you thought.

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Well it really depends on how used you are to doing things like this.
As long as you are a competent mechanic it's not that difficult as long as you pay attention to:
  • * The manual
    * The C-Plus guide
    * How it all came apart
Probably the biggest issue is how to support the bike
You'll also need a few tools that you probably won't have to hand - but I've mentioned them in the guide in the technical section.

^^^^ what Andy said, plus the loosening the rear header is awkward.

3/8" drive with a universal joint or wobble extension makes its easier
