Re: Stuck swing arm bolt.

Thanks for the input Freddy, I gave it a couple more thumps this morning just in case the PlusGas had soaked in but there was no movement. I don't really want to risk causing any damage so I went with the most cowardly option, leave it alone. The swing arm that is, not the paint on it, it really nee...

Stuck swing arm bolt.

Hi guys, has anyone got any ideas to remove the swing arm bolt/pivot pin? I removed the rear wheel to change the brake disc and while I was there I thought I'd see about removing the swing arm to get it repainted or even polished. The left side allen key nut came undone easily and the right side all...

Re: Not wanting to start

Re: Fuel Tap Issue?

Thanks guys! Looks like a replacement fuel tap complete unit is about $81usd, not super cheap, but if it’s gonna last 30 years like the previous one has, I’m good with that. HugoJose’s post brings up another question though. My Zeph (a 550) does not have a fuel gauge, but since it has two trip mete...
