Chain Adjuster Plate thingy...
Anyone else had a problem with the plate behind the rear axle nut bending?
I torque the nut up to 100NM as per the handbook but the bottom of the plate bends outwards. Last time i loosened the axle nut off the plate spun round and took the paint off the swing arm. Most annoying, hope someone has a solution. As a temporary measure i've bent the plate back and not tightened the rear axle nut quite so tight but this is hardly an ideal solution. |

Mine has bent as well, and the washer is well damaged.
Been like it last 15,000 miles, not a problem as such.... |

I find the adjusters all lie anyway
 For ages Ive been adjusting mine off the chain tension and tracking the rear wheel to make sure it's true. All you need is a piece of string and it only takes a couple of minutes extra.

See here under Chassis:
http://www.sv650.org/sv_manuals.htm Specified torque is 65nm. My plate is slightly bent but nothing to worry about |

On page 2-22 of the periodic maintenance section the specified torque is 100nm
The chassis section of the handbook gives 65nm as the torque figure for the front axle |

Of no help at all, but just for interest, the classic shape doen't have this problem as it has alloy caps which "lip" inside the swingarm end.
I would say look at getting some from an earlier model, however the swingarm end profile isn't rectangular as on the pointies, so you can't. It's only a flatbit of metal, why not get a bit made up in thicker stainless, can't cost much? it's one of the areas that they saved a few bob on the new design. Cheers Mark.
