Magician 250 SwingArm Pivot Bolt - part 1

Nov 14, 2022 UNITED STATES

First off let me apologize for the audio cutting out the last minute of the video, turns out my new phone will do this and i have to let the video run a little longer before stopping it then edit the extra time out.
Key words to use on Ebay "Dirt Bike Axle SwingArm" either this exact way or a combination of it will work. the part came within a couple of days and was under $10
Bolt length is 255mm but i think the shortest you can go for the Magician is 245mm (not confirmed though)
bolt diameter is 12mm and the thread pitch is 1.25mm
M12x1.25mm - 255mm, make certain the nut it comes with says "locking"
Broke 18k miles

I was on a minor highway doing 55mph when the bolt head broke off and hit me on the ankle so i pull over to see if it came off my bike or maybe it was already on the road and got kicked up by my tire or from the other vehicles by me. I didn't notice it at first and even road it another 100 miles. It wasn't until I got home to check the tire pressure and lube the chain did i notice it. I am really lucky it didn't break where the swingarm pivots or i could of had an accident, there was still a little bit of the bolt that kept the everything aligned and working!
