uncle porry · 09-Feb-2005, 23:14

my haynes manual states that the engine needs to come out to enable removal of the swingarm (748).....is this correct ?
thanks

Technically........ Yes.
The swingarm is located by two collars that go through the arm into the frame. The engine prevents these from coming out, even if the bolt is removed.
There is a way around it, but i'm not sure you'd want to try it and and i'm not sure it should be disclosed in public either
