98 F3 swing arm question
i just picked up this a 98 f3 and im trying to determine if the swing arm is bent or if there is even anything wrong heres some pics so hopfully this is clear enough to see that the gaps between the swing arm and tire are un even. its about 1/8 in gap on the right side and a 1" gap on the left. is it normal unnormal should i even worry about it

 

Well first of make sure your tire is strait. Also I believe the swing are sides are not exact. The reason being is to make up the difference of the sprocket.

 

the tire/wheel is striaght i dont have any wobble in it when it is spinning. and the axle is straight as well.

 

if theres no wobble, and the tire is straight, then i would say your fine. clean that bike though!

 

you may also have the rear wheel spacers switched on the wrong sides.
