I am performing swingarm maintenance right now on my 200, I made sure all the motor mounts were loose along with the mount on the head. Besides making sure the motor mounts are loose, make sure

Item's # 9 and 12 are loose as well. Back the bolts out of the tabs on the lower part of the frame. If these two rockers arm supports are still tight, they can binding on the swing arm pivot bolt, making it very tough to get out.
If this area of the bike has not been serviced in some time, you could be in for some really pain in the a$$ stuff.
Hope this helps and good luck.
