put the swingarm on and shim it without the frame in the way.

put the frame on the engine then lay out the loom and be prepared to lift the frame again to route stuff.

Pretty sure one thick shim goes on the left and then you add shims to the other side to remove clearance.

Taps and dies.

Pics and notes for reference documentation so that you don't lie in bed at 3:00 A.M. wondering if you torqued that now inaccessible fastener.  :)

Good to know, thank you Nate.

Do you have a case of beer?

Not a beer guy, I'm a rum snob. And yes I have a bottle of Bayou - for afterwards :P

Cycle Cat frame sliders aren't gonna work. For some reason the frame boss on the left side of the bike tapers and the aluminum coupling nut won't go in. Wasted 2 hours dicking with it. No problem with the other side at all. Oddball frame?





So now I gotta wait for a motor mount bolt to arrive before I do anything else  :'(

Haha I've just realized I have a 98 parts bike with the correct bolt. Game on!

M620 turned M800 but then back to M620 after the M800 died at 110k, and now to Multi 1000.

Can you set up a camera and then timelapse this into a video?  Would be cool for us.  Probably suck for you, 'cause, ya know, extra work.  But again, cool for us.

I'm a bit stuck here...

Where the billet suspension hoop and shock knuckle join up, the sleeve that passes through the needle bearing is interfering. What I need to know is, is it supposed to be a mother make the beast with two backser to coax in, or should I file a bit off the sides to make it work?

I really don't think I can get it in otherwise.

If you remove any material be careful. You want as little clearance as possible while still allowing assembly.

You also need to keep the end of the spacer square.

Have you taken a measurement of the two dimensions?

Do you mean of the i.d of the knuckle mounting points of the hoop and the length of the shaft that rides on the needle bearings? Yeah...was almost .5 mm, more than I felt was reasonable to pound it in. I carefully filed a few tenths of a mm from each side until I was just able to gently tap it in with a mallet...I think all is well.
