vw151 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I know on the ducs they shim this area to make the chain line up properly. Not sure about exposed threads though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Someone with a SV manual should have the specs but that takes up the slack between the swingarm and frame. It keeps the swingarm tignt on the chain side of the frame. I don't see where they call out a spacer so threads would show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yes. They have a threaded spacer essentially that compensates for any "gap" between frame and motor. Same with a GSXR, for example. Kind of a layman response, but yes, they are a threaded spacer...Basically, you can remove the swingarm bolt and the spacer still snug (they have a low ft lbs rating), the swingarm will not move much if at all. You then need to loosen the spacers and the swingarm will drop right out. Boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
