got a complete srad gsxr 750 back end on my z900.looks like a good job but the chain rubs constantly on the rubber guide thingy at the top front of the arm.dont know if this is cool,is that the way it runs on the gixer?i've lowered the back end slightly but still contact.it's such a pain in the ass taking on someone elses unfinnished projects!any suggestions?

U gonna have to bung some photos on for us to see.
My chain fouls the Left rear engine mount:

You'll probably have to continue to alter ride height to get chain off swingarm. They do drag on it a bit tho, but not continuously, or it'll soon cut through it :??

My swingarm is a JMC item with a rubber guide & it doesn't rub. Does it still touch when ur sitting on the bike :?:

Does it rub when you are riding (sitting on) it?

I had a bog stock Zxr750J a while ago with no mods. The chain rubbed the plastic block that wrapped around the pivot end of the arm. I always thought it didn't look right but after looking at a few other Zxr's they were all the same. I've never looked that closely at the Gixxer setup though.

Piggy - Oh yes yes yes yes :wink:

should be ok i guess,the rubbers quite thick so the chain is probably a bit away from the pivot anyway,just deed to get a longer chain,pissin me off,all i need is a link extra,looks like i'll need to buy a new one and this ones done zero miles and me being a jock

Its a proper link that just needs 'burring' over, NOT a split-link :wink:
