More Xt600 Swingarm Fun!
Are there any good folks out there who know where there are some Photos of a swingarm coming apart?
 so I know what I am lookin for.. the line drawing of the exploded diagram doesnt make a lot of sense to me.I am a bit wary of pulling mine apart for 2 or 3 reasons........ 1) I have never worked on a Monoshock before and the exploded diagram of the swingarm and monoshock system i have off the Web looks frightening! how many bits are there ????? 2) it has 15mm of vertical 'play' and 10-12mm of side to side 'play' would 'giving it a damn good grease up' sort it out or would that just make it messier to strip? 3) on another thread someone mentioned using a 10 ton press to install bushings n stuff...... can it be done without? Cheers Martyn

Thank you.
Thanks for the Info Auke.... i was really worried at the thought of stripping it down. it all started as a routine make a new sidestand and replace chain and sprockets........ i
NOW my bike is on a stand minus front end and has had Headstock bearings replaced, front wheel bearings to be done, the list seems endless..... it seems that every time i remove some part, i find another part that needs replacing or im not happy with. ( for instance the rubber boot on the monoshock that fits on the swingarm.....exspensive! then there's these bearings for the swingarm...) ITS GONNA END AS A FULL REBUILD I JUST KNOW IT.....LOL
