Mine's same as yours.
There's no marks on top of my guard so mine hasn't grounded AFAIK.I'm not a mad fast rider but am spirited when the moment takes me<grin> and I ride some pretty rough terrain.I have some favourite ,"Goat-Tracks" I ride and some are not well kept.

If you look at mine it is angled out and away though.
I'm almost certain that the ATF in the forks has been replaced with 10w/15w fork oil as they aren't spongy and when I got my SV the rear was a little bouncy so just took up the rear shocker a notch and that cured that.The bike takes everything I can throw at it with ease with the Stock suspension.

Here's an old video I made on one of my old CX500s @ one of my favourite little spots up here called,"Millington Woods/Picnic area" not well known so not touristy but the camera doesn't show the true crappiness of some of the surface and I've ridden the SV there several times with no problem.
