Posted June 8, 200915 yr Moderator A bit of a wash out weekend. I am stuck for a couple of day's as I can not get the pivot bolt out of the frame. I did mention this in a different thread but no amount of WD or hitting it with larger and larger hammers is budging it. I have decided to cut it out. To gain access to it the engine is coming out BUT I am still waiting for the big one tail pipe (This has been ongoing since 17 May and I had to return one) but they said Wednesday so I will wait for that, fit it and make sure that it is OK prior to ripping the engine out. I think I can get it off without damaging to frame or swingarm but I will see. With the bike this stripped down this much I may as well shot blast and paint the frame. Pictures below of where I am. The screwdriver is there so that the swingarm does not press onto the rear of the engine. BTW I know that one of the engine bolts is missing for the eagle eyed out there It was like that when I brought the bike.
