Swingarm failure - torque arm mounting point

[MC680x0]

I can also confirm that the haynes manual does not state that you need to slacken the arm nuts.
So thats the owners manual that came with the bike, haynes manual and the service guide all saying there is no need to loosen the arm.

LoL - don't loosen it then :lol

just have a look at that haynes for us a minute and tell us which way to turn the key in the seat lock - I'm not sure ?! cheers
