Caution
Bold reference numbers in this section identify parts shown in this exploded view diagram. These parts do not appear in the figures near the text.
Removing the swingarm
 
Remove the shock absorber and the linkage from the rear swingarm
The components listed below must first be removed to allow removal of the swingarm.
Remove the plugs (4) on either side of the swingarm.
Working on both sides of the swingarm, loosen the screws (7) onto swingarm shaft clamps, collect the washers (11).
At least one of the outer circlips (5) has to be removed in order to remove the shaft (6).
Use a suitable punch (C) and push shaft (6) outwards until the swingarm is not fixed to the engine any more.
Remove the swingarm (8) from the frame.
Swingarm shaft inspection
Measure swingarm shaft distortion (3) using a dial gauge.
Place the shaft (3) on two reference blocks of the same size.
Rotate the shaft and move the gauge horizontally.
Measure distortion.
Service limit: (0.3 mm) (Sect. C 1.1, Rear wheel).
Replace shaft when distortion exceeds the specified limit. Replace any cracked or distorted shafts.
Checking swingarm end float
When refitting the swingarm it is necessary to choose the proper shims (9).
Check axial play as follows:
fit a shim (9) 1.8 mm thick on both sides of the engine;
Hold the left arm of the swingarm (8) against the engine and measure play on the other side of engine using a feeler gauge or calibrated shims.
Maximum side play allowed is up to 0.1 mm.
When a 0.10 mm feeler gauge or shim is hard to fit, there is no need to shim the shaft. Otherwise, shims are available in two sizes (0.20 mm and 0.10 mm) to adjust play.
 
For example:
 
Shims on left side
Shims on right side
One 0.10 mm shim
One 0.10 mm shim
One 0.10 mm shim
One 0.10 mm shim
One 0.20 mm shim
Caution
Always put the largest amount of shimming on the right side of the swingarm.
Refitting the rear swingarm
Grease both faces of shim (9) chosen after checking end float (see “Checking swingarm end float” in this section). Position the swingarm (8) to the engine, on left-hand side fit the chosen shim (9) in-between the swingarm and the engine.
Working on the swingarm left side, fit the greased shaft (6) and the circlip (5) and insert it for half its length. Push the swingarm left section against the crankcase, and fit the shim (9) chosen during end float inspection in-between swingarm right section and engine. Insert the shaft completely, make sure not to damage the shims (9).
Fit the other circlip (5). Tighten the screws (7) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).
Fit the plugs (4) on either side of the swingarm.
