January 21, 20242 yr Hi all. I've seen it documented that later models have a gap between the left swing arm and the frame. Is this the same for older models? My 2002 txt 200 has roughly a 5mm gap

My 2002 txt 200 has roughly a 5mm gap As long as you have the large pressed steel washers sitting in the rear swing arm spindle hole of the engine casings then the gaps between the outer swing arm pivot points and the frame do not matter as the engine casings as one unit keep the swing arm centered., the steel washers protect the casing edges from wear obviously.

Yeah, got them in there and the casing pinch bolts tightened down. Just looks so wrong to have that gap. Thanks for the reply!

I know what you mean it does seem like it would be weakened by being like that but it works fine, I never saw a problem on one caused by the gap as long as the bushings and spindle are good.
