Just got it firing!
Hi Folks,
A couple of months ago I purchased a 2008 1200 sport 2V . 24000 mls with a full service history, rides lovely but has lived outside so in need of some light restoration.
The plan is to replace standard suspension with Hyperpro Items.
Replace all bearings.....Hand built high level exhaust.....oil cooler needs replacing (dented)
Replace fixings with stainless Items....Full re-spray (design yet to be finalised...any suggestions welcome)
Anyhow to the current problem.
Once all the body work was off I noticed the swing arm gaiter was split, so decided this was as good a place to start as any.
I double and triple checked that everything that needs to come off or be loosened has been in order to remove the swing arm, problem is the swing arm pivot pin will not come out.
It starts to come ok but then tightens up and any excess pressure results in a bang as though it's been forced back over a thread. It also appears to be stripping some metal off the swing arm lugs when turning it.
Any Ideas ?
