Ive taken my swingarm off to check and grease the bearings and to give everything a good clean while ive got the time. Is this normal for the chain slider to be looking like this (apart from it being dirty) or should I get a new one especially as im changing the chain and sprockets aswell and going 1 tooth down on the front sprocket so the chain will be closer to the chain slider? Where is best to buy a new one from? Hope everyone is keeping safe and well.

I'm sure more Knowledgeable people will be around soon but i think it's a sacrificial part, so it depends how much meat is left on it. If it's about to wear through change it, if not clean and leave

Think that looks pretty normal but obviously if you run your chain slack it'll take more punishment. I think it's one of those that wears a lot initially and then settles down to a much slower wear rate....

Yep, looks toast to me. They're not madly expensive though
