|  Is it stable without it???????????? I read here and there that it's ok to remove the swing arm on the C50. Doesn't the swing arm provide some stability to the rear wheel? Why did Suzuki put it on if it's not needed? It looks good without it but,,,,,,,,.   |

| Plenty of folks out there ridin' without the swingarm....zero reported incidents here and Volusiariders. Certainly, not empirical evidence, just a bunch of dudes on the internet, but I think one of them would've made a big deal of it by now.

| As an aside. It was probably added for styling balance.

| I made the same argument and was apparently wrong, though I'm not sure Suzuki would agree.  http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/fo...=fake+swingarm http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/fo...=fake+swingarm
