Yes, straight in but it's wider at the wheel end so if you're using the TRX wheel you'll need new spacers n stuff.

Straight in but you´ll have to either customize spacers....offset sprocket or take down the sprocket carrier to line up with the front sprocket....

Thanks - So there's no difference in fitting the "R" or standard YZF750 one then? anyone know what the physical differences between the arms are?

Do you mean the 'SP' rather than 'R'? I think they're the same- it was only the works arms that were braced.

Lots of similar questions on this matter on the FZ750.com forum. Someone posted this link which I thought was useful.

Note dimensions are not guaranteed as they have been submitted by various different people. Also note YZF dimensions at point A are said to be 256mm "without" end caps so I'm guessing "with" would take it up to 262mm as per TRX. :D

Not trying to dig up an old post, but this link is no longer active. Does anyone know where I could find the info again, or was someone really smart and copy this info before they removed it??
Understeer - when you hit the fence with the front of the bike.
Oversteer - when you hit the fence with the rear of the bike.
Horsepower - how fast you hit the fence.
Torque - how far you take the fence with you.

i noticed that on fitting my YZF 750 rear swing arm , point A [the pivot diameter into the yolk] had the similar bearing end seals as the trx AND,..a spacer washer each end too.[which the trx didnt have]..as it came off the yzf ..it fitted into the trx ..yzf pivot bolt is needed as well from memory
a trx rear caliper can be retained, but a yzf carrier bracket is needed
rear disc is trx same as is the torque arm..
trx sprocket is turned over or inverted to have a three mm to line up with the drive sprocket.
a split link chain to pass through the reinforced part of the swing and trim a section of the upper reinforcing plate to allow an r6 shock to be fitted.
