I have a warrior stand and need to remove the swing arm and re fit a swing arm which I have had powder coated black to match the frame on my RR5. The warrior stand locates in the swing arm pivot and on one of the engine mounts so I'm guessing I wont be able to use this. Anyone got any ideas on what best to do? I was thinking of borrowing a front paddock stand for stabilisng the bike and supporting the rear end with large straps / rope from one of the garage roof joists. Anything I should look out for / check when I have the swingarm off? I will be replacing the bearings at the same time.
I used an abba stand with swing arm removal kit when I swopped over my swing arm axle as it screws into the rear set bolts, but you should be fine with suspending from the roof joists and front stand Just make sure the axle goes through easily on painted swingarm incase of over spray which could make it difficult to push through, if it helps the rear axle is the same diameter as the swingarm one!
