the only thing i would say is if you can do the repairs to the swing arm without removing chain (ive done this) thats a better bet all round

as stated above

Sorry, you are right, it doesn't loop round the frame

only the swing arm pivot that isn't there.

Good morning all.

If the chain is in good condition I doubt that replacing the soft link with a new one will do any harm.
I have had to do this on GSXR's with a braced swinging arm when changing swinging arm bearings. Or one has to change the bearings with the chain flapping about scratching everything.

Cheers.
