if the bike was bent that much then the handling would be way off.

No bobbins on the blade YC....the paddock stand lifts the swingarm. I believe he has checked the distance is equal both sides.

blade doesnt have an asymetric swingarm does it? could try fitting some bobbins, theyre much better than using the cup type paddock stand anyway.

One side of the swingarm different to the other by design?

I have no idea but the suggestions stating the swingarm is not asymmetrical are out. If that were the case, the rear wheel wouldn't sit true. Have you checked the wheels are aligned?

IGNORE THE ABOVE STATEMENT. I AM AN IDIOT.
