twisting stock swingarm.

[ZRider400]

I landed hard a few times while riding...and am wondering if anyone has ever twisted their stock swingarm?

my quad was perfect, but now it angles. on a stand its level and the only thing angled is the swingarm. (1 end of the axle is half an inch lower than the other) It seems as if its level near the swingarm bolt/mount, then starts to angle towards the back.

i just never heard of a oem swingarm bending..i always thought it would crack first.

how are your axle bearings? any play? they might be shot.

alright well i took the swingarm off today, put it onto a flat table..its deffinitely tweaked.

axle bearings are fine..its the swingarm.


i was just curious to see if anyone else had it happen.

Hopefully, that's the only thing wrong.If you need a new one, I have a slightly used one w/ bottom linkage and rear shock. I sold axle & axle carrier already.
