Engine bolt spacers
andeks:
Thanks Julie that's good news! That's how I had it the first time I assembled it, but after checking the exploded diagram I changed it because it looks like it's on the other side. That put the alignment out. All looks good now. Onwards and upwards ! Thanks again for taking the time out to help. By the way name is Dek ( Derek) the Andeks is combination of Ann ( my wife) and me Dek. Just thought I'd say.
Nurse Julie:
No problem at all Derek, with a wife named Ann ;D. If you need any more pics just shout. Good luck with the build.

Hello Andeks
I think I read on this forum somewhere/sometime that if you have torqued up the swing arm bolt it makes it
trickier/more of a squeeze to get the engine in and it's easier to fit engine 1st then torque up swing arm bolt.
When you fit the sump make sure all the bolt holes are clean.I scoured mine out with WD40 and cotton buds.
Last thing you want is to have a bolt decide to graunch into the hole,get stuck in the crud, all while your on your back
under the engine with the thin gasket flapping about!!
andeks:
Thanks Fogdevil for the advice.
mike the bike:
Make sure you put the bottom engine bolts in correctly, one is 2mm longer and the other is 2mm shorter. Also don't forget the spring washers (otherwise it's like having a too long bolt).
Failure to follow this advice will spoil your day.
