I am doing somethin to my 450 right now... I'm gonna take the wing arm bolt to Put put a lot of marine grease on it... WHY ?!?!? Cuz I remember on my 400ex is got rusty and it wouldnt come out at all so I had to cut it with a buffer in several spots and buy a new bolts MAJOR PAIN IN THE ARSE... Just tought I'd let you guyz know cuz it can avoid problmes later on....

Do this and put some threadlock on the kickstart bolt.... That's myn TO DO list for tommorow...

You scared me :eek2:

When I read the title I though you could not get the swingarm bolt out of your 450r :(

Thanks for the reminder

Better Idea for you!

Pull the bolt out,
Drill 3-4 small holes in the shaft in a 1 2 3 4 type pattern,
Tap both ends. Put a Plug in one end and a Zerk fitting in the other.

Now you can grease the Bolt with a grease gun, and all the grease in there will keep the water and dirt out.

:D
