If you put a flat-blade screw driver between the axle plate and the arm on the torque side (in this photo I'm about to loosen the axle nut and compress the axle plate into the screw driver resting on the swing-arm) then the screw driver will help hold the axle plate in its' position and will have a reduced chance of bending the axle plate and gouging up the swing-arm.

Just thought I'd share...

Ooh, nice. Thanks!

Put some grease on the nut face where it rubs the plate. [thumbsup]

Nice bushmans spanner! :


And yes I scraped the alloy swing arm on my old 900!

The answer was a S2R1000.

BAM! I like those Red ones. Maybe even the gold. Thanks for the link

+1 on greasing the nut if you stick with the stock adjuster plates.
