I'm assuming both brakes are discs. Most likely they'll need refilled with brake fluid and bled. Fairly simple procedure, any decent motorcycle shop manual or even YT video can get you through it. ...

No doubt. None of that pesky valvetrain to deal with, although clearing the crank case can be a bitch, since most don't have drain plugs. I'd guess the most thorough method to be removing the head...

As far as the swingarm, it appears identical to the one on my Maxfine 150, other than the Disc caliper mount. The Maxfine uses a 6" drum, but the axle and adjuster hardware are identical.
