What have you done to your FZS600 bike today
(16-08-16, 04:41 PM)mr self destruct link Wrote: Went to adjust the chain today and managed to shear the bolt holding the torque arm to the swing arm.
Every time I adjust the chain I'm very careful to slacken off the torque arm nuts so the strain doesn't build up over time and crack the lug on the swing arm.
What I didn't do is try to rotate the bolt in the hole, and so over time it seized in place. Today I tried to move the actual bolt and the head just snapped off.
So the bike's off the road now until I can replace the bolt either by drilling it out or Plus-Gassing it and drifting it out. I'll probably go for the latter.
Sorted! Bit of penetrating fluid, then tried drifting it but no luck. Ended up winding the nut in to draw the threaded section of the bolt out.
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.
