The only thing iv noticed when i took my rear wheel out on my 749r was that you only have to lightly tap the paint on the swingarm say with the socket or a spanner and it chips very easily and it leaves white spots on yr swing arm iv got two at the moment which spoil the bike alot. Im going to put tank tape next time im taking the wheel out on that area.
