    Possibly bent swingarm

    by Zachc12385 » Fri Oct 27, 2017 5:18 pm

    I was taking a look at my bike the other day and noticed my wheel was a little cocked to the left. It doesn't feel wobbly when i ride so i dont think its the wheel. Would it be the swingarm?

    Posting a picture would help , but i would gather it is more of a adjustment issue rather than a swingarm issue , unless you hit a car or the bike dropped over a cliff , it's fairly hard to bend a swingarm with any type of "normal" riding

    I would measure the chain block adjusters and count the notches , they should be equal side to side , the bolt should be extended equally side to side....that would be my guess as to the crooked wheel , not sure who is doing the maintenance , you or a shop , but whomever it was most likely adjusted too much on one side .....it happens .... ;)
