A update. The bike is stripped to a point where there is less weight at the rear.
Checking swing arm bearings as well.
Using a ladder as A frame and supporting the motor a bit.
Now I cannot get the Relay arm off, the spacer seems stuck.
Some Advice please? 😊
Pics of bike strapped down and Relay arm left and right sides.
I'd first undo the rest of the relay arm at rear shock.... spray some penetrant on the spacer, it should loosen up...... AND, you don't have to remove it completely to get the relay arm off. Don't know if you got enough meat there to get some pliers on it to wiggle it a bit.
I'd be inclined to heat it up with a map torch and see if it moves. If you were in the US where parts are easy to get I would just cut the whole pivot assembly right down the middle and replace it to avoid doing any sort of damage to the frame it is mounted to.
Finally got the Swing arm loose and donated some blood.
So the Spacer that I thought had to come out is a fixed spacer! LOL!
Anyway the seized center barings had eaten a slot into the spacer they roll on.
Some feedback.
Rear end system reassembled, exhausts and radiator back first start and run test fine.
Then returned top fearing and tested lights, tested pass high beam switch and engine dies, turn signal Dash lights on main beam light on with varied fuel level. =
Heart attack..
Runs off to search forum, found ground spider thread. Looks like s4.
Sigh.. Fuel tank comes off to morrow. 😅😐😇
