This is for anyone who has an older M900, mine is a 95 model and I have just replaced the swingarm after the old one buggered up when the chain adjuster bolt snapped whilst mobile :rolleyes:
On the replacement the gold end plate has a "lip" only on one side "ie: the outside" as when you try and put one on that has a lip both sides it is too close and touches the sprocket, as I dont know what the old looked like (pinged off down the road lost forever when the bolt snapped!) I dont have a comparison so want to check if this is right for an older M900.
If someone who has an older one can have a look at theirs and let me know if its like that would be much appreciated.
Basically the gold end plate is different sprocket side to the other as it only has a single "lip" on the outside whereas the brake caliper side has a lip over in and outside of the end of the swingarm, sorry for the ramble but difficult to explain without piccies.
Cheers
