September 16, 201015 yr Author Well I started drilling it out but I couldn't get the swingarm to separate from the engine so it ended up as a combination of beating it out and wedging the frame a bit to hacksaw through it. The bolt came out easy enough after that. The new one will be getting drowned in copaslip when it goes in. Iain
October 13, 201015 yr Author Well I have recently had the frame welded on my bike and all parts are on order from splatshop. Once arrived I shall begin the task of rebuilding the beast. Fortunatley the bash plate has gone on without too much trouble and I have a rolling chassis for the engine to drop into once repaired. I see some discussion has taken place regarding engine oil. I take the concensus is to use 5w30 oil? Back to work tomorrow so once the spares arrive I will hopefully have some days off to get it rebuilt. Iain

Iain The factory recommend on the gear oil was 10-40, though the other works fine with not much difference, possibly a bit quicker clutch, but they will likely both stick off cold and setting. No big deal.
