IM starting to LOOSE it ! Adjuster woes.

[Dozer7380]

Does this make sense to anyone?
When I got the bike the rear adjuster plate was damaged . so i decide to flatten it out and while i have the wheel off . After discovering that a spacer was missing and one of the bearings wasn't pressed in I rebuilt it correctly after waiting 2 weeks for Ron Ayers to ship me parts that they forgot. So A new adjuster , plate , and spacer later. THIS HAPPENS. I dont understand what is wrong. The swing arm is slightly bowed but i dont see why that would destroy a new plate. All the pieces are there and i torques the nut to 30 some lbs .

This was after 1 hard pull. Im out of ideas.
ANYONE?

OOKAy i cant seem to upload photos so heres a link if you would like to see. AAARRRRGGHHH...

Can't see the pics.....bowed swingarm you say??

Well, that doesn't very good now does it?

You should be able to pick up a decent swingarm for cheap. I think jgmann67 has a 600 swingarm...

I doubt the 98+ adjusters will matter if you have a set of them, if you have one pre and one post it will matter, but if you use a set, it won't matter.

yep, Jim has a pre 600 swingarm, I only have 2 98+ swing arms, it's a lot of work to swap a post to a pre frame.

the problem is not so much the swing arm. but something is not holding correctly and causing the chain to pull the adjuster forward. the plate is bent.


umm okay well i still cant upload. My quota has been filled? 2mb?
