Need a Little Help
Just put new tires on the 12. While installing the rear, I noticed a wrinkle on the inside of the right swingarm. Is that normal? When I looked closer at the swingarm, the left side is straight and the right side has a bend. What's that about. No, the bike has never been down. Anyone looked that closely at yours?

It's a factory "wrinkle", it's okay.

That is also why the Internal Adjustors will not work on a "0" to 6 Swing Arm that was Modified from stock! (The bend after the adjustors on the chain side limit the distance the Bolt can go in!)

Ut oh...youve got one of those "wrinkles"? That means the bike is too old. Try some Oil of Olay on the wrinkles...hehe

If you use Vitamin E for chain lube liberally the wrinkle seems to go away. Or at least be hidden by the muck!

I agree. Your bike is trashed and probably doesn't track straight.
You should just give it to me. I've got this killer F2 I can loan ya.
