Dropped the swing arm out tonight, rear wheel out 1st, then back in so when I undid the swing arm bolt, I didn't tip the bike :-) all came out without any problems, should have dismantled the lower shock bracket 1st though, but wasn't a problem, all cleaned up, no pitting on any of the shafts though the grease was drying up, so good call to drop out the swing arm, also gives me a chance to get it all clean under there as well as change the rear brake pads.
Quick call round to M&P tomorrow for a gold X ring chain and sprocket set for £97 and will be all back together tomorrow night :-)
Front forks oil change after that.
