Now then chaps, I was reading an article on the JPN racers t' other day and notice something I hadn't before.
The swinging arm spindle appears to be fixed to the frame, in the traditional 'non isolastic' fashion. Yet the front mount has a clearly visible isolastic mount.
Is this correct?
The only way I can see this working is that it allows the engine to 'pivot' around the spindle mount as it vibrates, or, that the swinging arm is not also mounted to the engine cradle (just giving the drive train a hard life).
Does anyone know?
