Hey y'all,
My swingarm seems to be on the move.
I first noticed the "dirty" part of the rear tire was slightly off center. I chalked it up to that last turn into the driveway.
Then I could see that the tire was slightly off center to the left. Alignment seemed ok, measurement from the center of the pivot arm to the center of the axle were the same. The bike tracks straight; no pulling.
Today the tire scrubbed against the upper inside fender (there's a bit of tube framing up there). I think only when the shocks are compressed after a bump, but I can't be sure.
Can the swingarm be adjusted? Is this a shock absorber issue?
Any reply is appreciated, thanks.
