My 2000 cyclone has had scuffs on the swing arm since I bought it and the scuffs are very close to the location of the passenger peg mounts. Is this a common thing for the swing arm to flex or the bearings to be that sloppy? Is there anything else that can cause this? |

Can you feel side to side movement in the Swingarm,or is your Passenger peg mount bent in?. |

I feel the bike being sloppy on the road but the forks were hosed before I put her away for the winter. There's enough room between the mounts and the swing arm to slide my fingers thru but that's it. |

Forks were hosed? Maybe time for steering head and swing arm bearing maintenance. |

The steering head was fine. The forks needed new springs and oil like you read about!! The swing arm is coming off and I'm powder coating it so I'll install all new bearings and isolators too. |
