During
normal cleaning and/or operating in moist environments, water enters
and migrates to the rear of the swing arm causing the bolt to rust and
seize. Consequently, at the next chain adjustment interval, the bolt can
break off in the swing arm. This is becoming an increasingly common
problem with today's motocross, street and enduro bikes. Rather than
removing the swing arm from the bike, the SWING ARM BUDDY will allow the
average rider to fix the broken stud in approximately 10 minutes
without the expense of a machine shop, normally required for this
repair. It comes in two distinct kits.
A
SAB-10 single kit includes one 3/8" extractor drill bit and one special
thread fitting. A SAB-20 double kit contains one 3/8" extractor drill
bit and two special thread fittings. Also included are easy to follow
instructions.
- Replaces seized and/or broken chain adjuster bolts
- Kit allows you to replace broken bolts in approximately 10 minutes without having to remove the swing arm from the bike
- Comes
with a high-speed hardened drill bit that is used to drill out the
broken bolt, then a stainless steel threaded insert block can be easily
and permanently inserted
- With threads replaced, a new adjustment bolt and lock can be used
NOTE: Because we are drilling out the broken bolt, the new bolt will have a larger head than the stock chain adjuster bolt. You will now use a 1/2" or 13mm socket instead of the stock 13/32" or 10mm socket
These kits are brand new, still in original packaging complete with manufacturer warranty. These
are not the copycat "Chinese Kits" that are now flooding ebay made from
inferior materials. Those bolts will break and damage your bike. These are American made kits from a name you can trust- Pro-tek- a leader in the motorcycle industry for over 25 years.
The double kit retails for $42.
