Hi guys was wondering if u lot could help me again the rear bearing in my sprocket carrier ( cush drive ) collapsed today , ( think i might have put the spacers in the wrong way ) but the big problem is the chain sprocket was rubbing against the swing arm for about 20 miles i now have a guage on the inside at the welded area , do u guys know if the arm is solid alloy or if it is hollow , the guage is about 2 mm deep do u think i should get a new swing arm just to be safe ?? cheers again guys

(might tell the wife i dont feel safe riding it now and trade it in for a zx 10 lol )

 

i wouldn't worry about it, if anything just take it off and have someone weld it to fill it in and grind it smooth

 

2mm is a big gouge! Normally all swingarms are tubing/hollow. 2mm should have ground it through the Aluminum. 20 miles and you did not hear this happening? Re welding it would be the cheapest thing yes. Should not cause any other issues unless it becomes distorted due to the welding.

 

trouble is i did hear it lol but couldnt figure where it was coming from thought it was from the front sprocket casing [:-] it aint right through yet so i will see if i can get it welded..............

 

I vote for telling the wife so u can trade it in for the 10r..................

 

well i got a cush drive and a second hand swing arm off e-bay just waiting for the parts to arrive so i can get it back together, have told the wife i dont feel right riding it now lol so i am going to hold a poll to see what i should buy lol, look out for it soon
