Dimension help for !k swing arms
Hi,
well the 1K swing arm bolt in has been rubbished,but since a lot of you dead jealous of Tony's fat rear end, perhaps it is time to start breaking down what is required to do this mod right.
We now think that the 1K swing arm is 241.3mm across the pivot end
(still puzzles me as to why such an odd number even for Yamaha )
we also know for a fact that 600's & 400's have a frame throat that accepts 220mm
What we need to KNOW is how much each end of the pivot material was removed from each side so that
A} the chain lines up straight
B} the wheel sits in the frame on the center line

Re: Dimension help for !k swing arms
OK.... I've got some info about the 1992 fzr 1000 swingarm and wheel.
A) width of the inside of the swingarm where the wheel's axle gets in is 267 mm.
B) width of the wheel with sproket carier on, from bearing to bearing is 210 mm.
C) each side wheel spacer's width is 13 mm.
D) caliper bracket's width is 27-28 mm.
E) A)+B)+C)+D) = 264 mm.
F) A)- E) = 3mm (calculated error by Yamaha so you can slide the whole wheel assembly in)
I did all these measurements on a 1992 fzr 1000 that i have in my garage.
I am also thinking about a mod i could do to my stock 600 swing arm to slide a fzr 1000 wheel in. I will post a scheme of what i intend to do.

- in the second picture is where i want to make my cuts in the original swing arm (light green color) and where i want to position another 600's swingarm arms next to the cut ones so that the width at the axle of the wheel shall be 267 mm, and that the brake disc, wheel, and sprocket will not rub on the swingarm anymore when the chain is new.

Re: Dimension help for !k swing arms
i must disagree with you Tony. the non modified fzr 1000 swinger has 42 mm on each side of the wheel (measured from the 180/50/17 tyre to the swinger). in this picture, the arrows show where i did the measurements. i can guarantee for these measurement with my head.
. these measurements proove that there is no designed offset in the swingarm.
