Easy assembly

First, the engine case has to be adapted. The easiest way is to "adjust" the screw, which is screwed through the support from behind, with a gap of 5mm.

For security reasons you should, as a trial, assemble and check, if it runs parallel to the surface at the Vario cover. Shortening by at least 5 mm is usually always necessary. Depending on the combination of assembly parts, the gap may vary and be up to 10mm wide.

Fastening the rear wheel

The two-row self-aligning ball bearing can be fitted at a maximum angle of 5 °. The swing arm comes with longer screws to fit the rear wheel. The screws should be fitted with liquid screw locking.

Security advice

The swing arm was produced for race use only.

There are many variations of hubs, rims and engine cases on the market.
Therefore we advise you to Thoroughly check if the parts fit before the assembly and finally to very thoroughly assemble the parts.
