The 4 bolts you loosen on rear swingarm to allow for chain tension adjustment... A couple were really tight. I managed to get one out with impact gun. The bolt was really stripped.
So should I be able to tap out the old hole? And if so, anyone know the size/pitch of that hole? ( I don't think my tap will be long enough either).
Should I remove all 4 and put some never-seize on them?
On the bolt's 2 of the 4 are shorter. The 2 shoter one's that came out of the break side the manual say's 53ft-lb the longer ones which came out of the sprocket side manual say's 72.5ft-lb...
If I remmber right I think those bolts just screw into nuts that are welded on the bottom of the swingarm If you dont have a rear skid plate those nuts see alot of crap under there ya might want to put something on them....
If you tip the Z on it's rear grab bar you should beable to get @ those nuts..
the 4 main bolts are torqued at 72.5 ft lbs. if you messed up the bottom plate suzuki will be the place to get a new one unless you have a used bike parts store around you. amd the bolts are 12mm I think not sure what pitch the threads are or how long
The 2 bolts on the sprocket side are 12mm break side are 10mm so say the manual & a plate hey opps my bad it's been a while that I have had to take that apart & it's a bit hard to see w/ a skid plate in the way...
i have a 2003 z400 and one of the 2 bolt on the lower swing arm has broke and it wont let me pull the sprocket side of the axle back havent looked at it yet but i was wondering if u hade a idea how to fix it
