I have had the bike for a little over a year now and for the most part it is mechanically sound; however, when looking at the rear end of the bike the wheel is "off center" and shows to be to one side as compared to where the fairing lines up. I believe the frame is bent and will be tearing it down sometime this week or next to find out for sure and then do a frame replacement.
There is a frame for sale on the forum here that is from an '05 600 and the guy believes it is straight. I was wondering if the frame from an '05 will be a direct fit for an '01 bike and parts? I will post up pics of it later. Also, does anyone know how to find out if the frame is bent or if it may be the swingarm or sub-frame (aside from tearing down the whole bike)?
