Swing Arm Removal Kit

Frequently Asked Questions for abba swing-arm removal kit

1. Will the Swing Arm Removal Kit fit my bike?
   
   The kit is a universal product. It uses 8mm threaded bolts which is considered the normal size for most Japanese and European motorcycles. There are a few exceptions to this, if unsure it is a simple case of removing one of the bolts from the foot rest hanger on your bike and measuring the bolt size. If your still unsure please contact us.
2. Can I fit the Swing Arm Removal Kit onto the Foot rest hanger, instead of removing the hanger and fitting to the frame?
   
   In some cases (as shown in pictures above on Honda Fireblade) the kit can be fitted directly on to the hanger itself. Once you have removed the hanger bolt from the bike offer the Swing Arm Removal Kit to the hanger and if it sits flush or inserts inside then it can be fixed to this point, otherwise remove or lower the hanger and fit directly to the frame.
3. Can I use this kit all the time instead of using the abba Superbike Stand on the swing arm pivot?
   
   In theory yes, however we recommend this kit is only used for when you need to remove the Swing-Arm. Although this kit is still stable and secure, using the Superbike Stand on the Swing-Arm pivot with the correct fitting kit is a far better solution for constant use. Using this kit would also be much slower as you would have to fit and remove the kit each time you use the stand.
4. Will I need to use the nuts included in the kit?
   
   If you are fitting the kit directly to the foot rest hanger mounts on the frame the nuts will not be required. Sometimes the nuts can be used (more information in question 5).
5. Are there any other places on my bike the kit can be fitted?
   
   Often the swing arm removal kit can be fitted to after market rear sets or heel plates, some are pre threaded with 8mm holes. Others have plain non threaded holes, in this instance you can use the M8 nuts provided in the kit to bolt the Swing Arm Removal Kit to the rear sets. Note: It is very important that you use the exact same hole location on either side of the bike
