Swinging arm tool

[TimV]

Has anyone tried one of these? Seems well priced.

I bought something similar from an ebay seller, OK it was for various vfr's & it did what it's supposed to

Yep, I bought one, looks well made, but I have now decided to leave the swing arm alone, as exhaust clamps and head bolts are solid, and I do not want to snap them off. I have no play in the swing arm, moves nice and smooth, so suspect its OK anyway.

Bought the kit for my GSX1100G of this seller. Well made and works a treat

I bought one for my 2014 DL1000 from this seller. Worked a treat. On the dl the rear exhaust pipe stops you removing the arm but you can turn it just enought to remove the inter bearings and grease them without removing the exhaust system.

Really, does that also apply for the 650 ???, if I could clean and grease bearings without removing the exhaust, I would do that.

Can anyone comment

Cheers, have ordered one today.

Porter... thanks.. I'd planned to remove the exhaust & give the silencers a little repaint, but that might be useful info (though mine's the older model)

Works on the new DL1000 but I don't know about any other models sorry. Suzuki had put plenty of grease in there unlike all four of my yamaha fazers which where bone dry from day one!
