I guys.

Check out my stock swing arm after a whoops section in 4th gear:ermm:
I was preparing the bike for the new racing season. :mad:

Is it normal that a swingarm twist or bend like that??
Can i do something for it or my swingarm is just good for the trash ??

I need help for that one guys!!

I've never seen one twist like that, but I have cracked my stock swingarm all the way through doing 70 ft uphill step-ups all day at the MX track. It's a good excuse to buy an aftermarket swinger because the stocker is plain old weak sauce IMO :p:o

Indeed, that front end is pretty sick.

twisting is definatley a BAAAD thing... something tells me that if you look closely, you will find cracks. Don't try to bend it back into place, you will only weaken it further, it's trash.

Replace that bad boy. It's would only make a good door-stop now. (actually, with that twist, it wouldn't even make a good one of those!)
