Keiran95 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I suppose if you got the correct spray paint and masked out your engine and removed all the fairings you could spray your frame bit i really wouldnt reccomend it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtlc3 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Depends how good you are with a spray can,, Your better off getting yourself a few small boxes and stripping the bike down, also get yourself a manual, take loads of photos of it so if you get stuck you can relate to the photo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoclinton Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi Removing swing arm you ave to release monoshock pin and the pinion bolt that runs through the frame & swing arm and obviously the rear wheel all pretty simple . When I did this I bought a new swing arm bolt and bush set from ebay for £20 worth doing this whilst its of. Jap lac is also a good paint to use on the frame it gives a good finish even though its brush applied. ope this elps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan09 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You could easily strip the whole bike down in a day and have the engine out of the frame. If you do just make sure you put everything in some sort of order so that it goes back how you took it out. Good excuse to give everything a good clean too =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
