Hi -
Have bought a genuine Yamaha chain kit for my Gen1 Fazer 1000.
It has an endless (DID ZVM) chain (in the kit).
It states in Haynes that you need to remove the suspension complete and then remove swingarm to fit the chain. Does any guru out there know if I can get away with just undoing the dogbones where it bolts on to the swingarm and slide the swing arm backwards just enough to get the old chain off and the new one on - I have never done this before as I have always used a broken chain with a rivet.
Any advice would be welcome - Thanks
