EC 2018 and 2019 Swingarm makes contact with engine case

[Doc Brown]

This week we found on a 2019 Ranger, a 2018 GP 300 and my EC 300 2019 that the swing arms right hand sides make contact with the engine cases.

The pics show my second 2019 with right engine cover removed. The bike is brand new, zero hours.

That's weird.

I would loosen up all the motor mount and swing arm bolts. See if you can shift the motor forward.

 

[Doc Brown]

Yes, that's the plan. Its good to know its not an individual case.

Gonna sus mine out later....Thanks Doc

 

[Doc Brown]

you're always welcome rodent. Don't try to shift the motor forward, it wont work. Ask me why I know

Mine touches also, when I get around to checking the linkage bearings I'll pop the swingarm out and "clearance" it a bit

if you wait long enough it will become a "precision fit"

Hi Doc.

Mine EC 2018 SIX DAYS is in the same situation.

How did you do to keep the engine away?

Thanks.
