Anyone remember my fleet of bikes withy seized swing arm bolts? Well this one we got out. Drilled it out from one side and a 700nm + air impact from the other (after over a month in kroil) finally broke it free. New swing arm, bearings and bolt fitted then find the brand new yamaha ignition barrel has internal corrosion, fixed that and now runs like a champ again. Mate it taking it on as their first bike, its not pretty close up but mechanically and electrically its now as good as it can be.
So long little rev box, 110mpg will be missed but that's about it
