My swingarm pivot bolt is stuck and i wanted to know if anyone knows where to cut to get it out.

Dont cut!!!!! just put some penetrating oil on it and around it and wait a few minutes. Turn the steering all the way to the right when your on the bike( all the way to the lock) take a big ratchet and a piece of pipe to lenghten the handle of the ratchet and just torque! it'll work trust me I just did it on mine cause I bent the stem. That bolt really is torqued and it wont go easy with just a simple ratchet. It takes ingenuity and elbow grease.

I think you are talking about the wrong bolt.

I cut mine on my 400 in between the swinger and the motor. There is a little space in there where you should be able to see the bolt. Th eproblem is that the collars for the bearings are freezing up on the bolt, or atlest mine was.
