hi all,
hasn't taken long for me to ask my first question!
on stripping down my K1 swing arm I discovered it was damaged and ordered a replacement. It was upon examining the replacement that I realised that the collar ( part 12) was missing entirely from the original swing arm, no wonder it was damaged!  The replacement looks identical but the original pivot pin (15) will not fit through the collar,  according to the parts manual these parts are common to the K0,K1 & K2..it would be nice to know what am I missing here before I shell out on a new collar. Can anyone enlighten me?

Nurse Julie:
Has either your original swing arm or the replacement got needle roller bearings fitted instead of standard bushes?

Crispy:
No..both got the standard parts apart from the original missing the collar.

I thought all sohc were 14mm spindles, the dohc went to 16mm, I have modified a dohc to fit my K1, it uses needle rollers, was wider and longer than the K.

philward:
Mic the original spindle - o check if its not rusted, corroded and hence oversize - might have been damaged due to missing spacer. Conversely, check the bushes in the replacement swingarm in case they've been damaged - sounds obvious but got to be one or the other.
