Valentinik:
Thanks guys.
Oddjob, yes i've had blown out and cleaned the swing arm before i did anything else. The chain guard brackets have been removed as i don't intend on using the chain guard.
Thats good to know about the engine, is it possible then to fit the cylinder barrel with the bottom end installed in the frame, or is it better to fit it before fitting the engine to the frame?
JamesH:
Listen to Oddjob. He's the man...
Valentinik:
Thanks, I think i'l fit it the barrel before i fit it into the frame and then fit the head, clutch etc when the engine is mounted.
Valentinik:
Following Oddjob's advice of fitting the engine to the frame partially assembled I started assembling the first few bits onto the frame.
My tapered steering bearings arrived today so I've now got the yokes installed. I fitted the swingarm during the week. This is how it stands at the moment:
My next job is to work out a way to hold the rear hub so i can remove the wheel bearing retainer.

Is it easier to wait until the wheel is built and then change the bearing Mike ?, I don't know if the 550 is the same as the 750 but on the 750 the retaining ring is centre dotted to lock it in position, I took a fine drill and drilled out the centre dots , I'm not sure if there's another way but someone will say if there is .
