I noticed this awhile back. Is this normal flex? Everything appears to be very solid right now, so maybe a bearing or isolator went out with the previous owner and it did this? Whatchya think?   | ||

That ain't right - there shouldn't be any contact. It's all from the PO, right? It kind of looks like something external hit it - perhaps a slipped jack? | ||

Hmmmm...With my untrained eye, it looks like those scratches don't match up with the tube across from it. Maybe you kicked up a rock and it wedged between there and that did the damage. | ||

...is there any corresponding damage to the inside edge of the tube at that point? | ||

The inside of the pipes don't feel rough at all. A jack! That could almost make sense! That will be my conclusion for now! Thanks! | ||

Mike It looks like something was caught between the frame and swing arm while it was moving. Don't ask how I know. Joe | ||
| Mikef5000 |
Well, there's similar marks at the exact same point on both sides of the swingarm. So the jack thing makes sense. | ||

Yup, a lot of us will put the back end up using jacks under the passenger pegs. I have similar marks on my swingarm though not nearly so bad. When I saw it was making contact I adjusted the jacks... |
