How difficult is it to remove the existing engine mount bushings?
I was getting gas this morning, and noticed that my back wheel and engine was not trailing straight in reference to the center line of the bike. It looks as if it's offset by a few degrees. I looked at the bike carefully, and noticed that the engine mount bushings are pushed out of the casing. On one side, it appears that it is fully out and the other side is about 75% out.
I have not done a whole lot of mechanical work, so how much work is it to replace these?, and can somebody post a photo of what they should look like when properly installed?
I do not know if this is something new, or if the bike has been this way since I purchased it. I have not noticed anything different in the handling of the bike.
