'''Caution:''' There are better/safer ways to do this than shown here. Use EXTREME CAUTION when supporting the bike in this manner, or serious injury could result. Ideally, someone to steady the bike would have been helpful but 'cheap labor' was not available for this article.

'''Please note''': This service should be done at the same time that the [[~~http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Servicing_the_swingarm~~|swingarm lubrication]] is performed, but the trained monkey was asleep at the wheel when his swingarm service was performed, so 7000 miles later here we are. If you are going to do one or the other, do the unitrak first; it sees much more of the elements than the swingarm, as the pictures below seem to show.
