Swingarm failure - torque arm mounting point

[MC680x0]

It never crossed my mind that this would need loosening.


Thank foc i never needed to adjust my chain thats all im saying.......even doing my bike lessons they did a quick run around on how to adjust a chain & there was never any mention of some bikes needing torque arm adjustments to do the chain......hardly user friendly is it

the practice is quite common mate,  jI've been doing it for years, but here is just a few links taken during 10 seconds of surfing ...

I could probably find 000s more but hey, the haynes manual doesnt mention it  :'( so maybe I'm gunna stop bothering and just do something more interesting as I am no expert on fizzies and only ever owned 1 (currently) for only a few months. but this sort of "generic" failsafe working practice is one of those things that takes seconds and saves a loada aggro - no brainer really
