In America a bush is something that grows in your Yard or I guess you would call it a garden. Anyway the bushings need to be burned out or pressed out on a hydraulic press..In America a bush is something that grows in your Yard or I guess you would call it a garden.

Many Thanks once again. We also call something which grows in the "garden" a bush, just to confuse people!>Many Thanks once again. We also call something which grows in the "garden" a bush, just to confuse people!>

Did you put lights (license plate, brake light, turn signals, running lights) onto the swingarm? When you cut off your fender, what did you do with the lighting? The lights expect to get ground (the negative side of your 12V system) through your frame. So the frame--your fender, your frame, the metal parts of the bike--act as the negative 'wire' for your system. In this case, I expect your swingarm is providing that ground instead, and the swingarm runs through a bearing/bushing/pivot point that is likely greased and not a good electrical conductor! You could try running a heavy primary wire from the bike frame or engine mounting point back to a point on the swingarm, preferably where your lights are mounted. Leave a loop or slack wire at the pivot point of the swingarm so you don't break the wire when you hit a bump. (By the way, I assume you really mean the starter breaker, not the starter relay...)
try each suspension bolt in turn just so they are loose and move suspension up and down , as i think that one of the bushes could be dry of grease! when was the last time the rear suspension system and the swing arm pivot spindle was removed and greased up ?? some pivot points mite have a grease nipple , but i suggest if this is the problem to remove and clean bolts and the holes then grease up so to last ! depends how much you use the bike in wet or sandy conditions as when to repeat this also !!
It is only supposed to pivot up and down with the shock. The pivot point is worn and needs to be serviced or the bike is too worn out. Might be an easy fix depends how long its been doing this.
Serial Numbers are usually in one of two locations.
Turn the bike upside down and look at what is the very bottom of the frame where the pedals and cranks pass through. This is the bottom bracket shell. Serial numbers are commonly stamped here and will be a long series of numbers and letters
Occasionally they are also stamped inside the rear dropout on the left or right. The rear dropout is the part of the frame where the rear wheel is connected.
The "rear dropout" points are the part that connects the rear axel to the frame of the Bike. You likely have to remove the back wheel during the process of installing it.
-worn shock bushings
-worn/faulty bearings at final drive pivot point
If you have a center stand for your bike, you can do some diagnostic work yourself with the bike on the ctr. stand.
Try moving the wheel while holding it at 12 and 6 and 9 and 3 O'clock positions. Listen/feel for clicking. This would indicate a loose or defective final drive pivot bearings.
Lift the wheel from the 12 o'clock position and see if the click noise comes from the shock bushings.
Very hard to diagnose without a center stand or service stand.
Diagrams are available in the website under the support tab. Just note the you have to remove the crank on the right side to get to the nut that holds the lower eyelet into the frame (torque nut (not the bolt) to 120in/lbs with a torque wrench.... yes you have to use the torque wrench.... Push the bottm bolt in first then the top one then tighten both to 120in/lbs. The brain hose should bend under the main pivot nut and then inside the rear triangle and brake hose. Torque the bolts to 70in/lbs. Go ride!
Yes , it may require some light lubricating at around the stand but first you will need to clean up throughly around the stand fittings better to use WD40 and thn some mineral oil as lubricant.
Not bad too to check the spring of its tension!
Hope this helps!
Many thanks but in England we call them bushes.

Many Thanks once again. We also call something which grows in the "garden" a bush, just to confuse people!>
