Hi everyone,
I just recently purchased a 2014 KTM 250SX and whilst cleaning my bike today i noticed that the area of the swingarm that faces the rear of the rear shock is scuffed/chaffed and it appears the shock spring has been hitting the swingarm. How do i stop the swingarm from being hit? do i need to raise the linkage or adjust the suspension?
Cheers

Also whilst i was inspecting i also saw this damage on the bottom of the rear shock.
Do i need to replace any of these parts? or is the damage minimal?
Cheers
Pretty guttered as just purchased the bike and it looks like a linkage arm is going to set me back about $300 which is a shame...oh well. So the rest of the damage there is not substantial enough to warrant purchasing new parts? Cheers
I have a Ride engineering link for sale (just like guy above) and a complete 2015 linkage setup for sale. The Ride part is used but good shape, and the 2015 set is almost new. Used both at different times on my 2014 KTM 150SX. Both made the rear a bit stiffer in initial travel and lowered rear of bike.
