swing arm swap
Hi, I'm not sure what your madel has but generally the motors with electric start are 10mm wider than kickstart only models (swingarm pivot is 240mm vs 230mm) due to the bendix clutch behind the flywheel. The rest of the bearing setup is the same, the late model 'e' bikes still have the bits on the castings to take a kick start and auto decomression cable. I helped a mate fit an ali xt600 swing arm to his 1VJ and we had to make a 10mm spacer for the LHS of the swingarm, don't know if chain alignment was a problem as I left that up to him to sort out but he has been ridib=ng it about without complaint.
