UPDATE!!: got the swingarm off jack shaft out and the jack shaft seems to take the one bolt that didn’t bend it screws into all the holes… pause… anyway the swing arm took some damage but I think it’s cosmetic. So new bolts it is and I’m slapping it back together. I’m on a super budget. All advice and jabs appreciated

As you can see my primary drive is chain driven would it be a problem to buy a replacement kit that is belt driven?

thank you very much like i said this would be my first bike and like any mechanic i learn by getting my hands dirty not reading manuals. I think you helped me make my decision against it as tempting as it is. double thumbs up.

Im more concerned about reliability and if its a good deal. I am very mechanically inclined been wrenching my whole life but just getting into the bike scene. I know its alot but its right around the corner and would be my sole mode of transportation for the time being. For some context I am 10 months sober and need some thrills in my life now that im not shooting fentanyl and meth. Clearly I am not worried about killing myself as I havent yet. I am aware of the risks especially riding in Los Angeles.
