Hi

I am refurbishing the whole bike but the main problem is the collapsed bearing on the output shaft in the gearbox.
I have removed the engine by the Tip Over Method, I toppied the bike over on the right hand side after loosening all the engine mounting bolts, onto a trolley to cushion the small fall, and after jacking up in 2 places and lifting up the Centre Stand....
One problem which I hadn't solved untl today was the Swingarm Removal, I tried all sizes of sockets to try and remove the nut on the left hand side with no success, until, this morning, a conventional 22mm socket, with an extension bar, and it undid, it took several weeks to reach this happy moment.

More fun to follow

roy
