Chain rubbing on swingarm - SV650.org

Naked curvy K2

I was giving the bike a bit of clean the other day when I noticed some marks on the swingarm presumably made by the chain, is this normal or do I need a new rubbing strip (is that what it's called?) Seems weird that it'd only be catching on the inside edge......

any thoughts?

Sure it is rubbed and you are not looking at a weld there?

Tension correct?

You da boss. Yeah it's a weld. duh! Does that plastic strip wear out eventually?

They last ages.

Not at all, but some are more silly than others. It's not like we haven't all done it!
