I think I will just keep riding in ignorant bliss - with all the other
problems I have had with my SP, I don't even wanna look! :)

Just for the thrill of it I'm going to contact Moto Forza and see what they
have to say. I still want to buy one though. Thanks for all your replies,
you guys and gals are the best.....! I'll let you know what happens. All you
owners with this type of swingarm would be advised to give her a good
inspection at any rate.
