Hi - rebuilding my Saturno 350TT and note that swingarm has identical dents in both sides looks like rear set bolts have done it? is this common problem? will get better pics tonight

My 350 also has marks on the right hand side of the swingarm opposite the footpeg bolt but none on the left.

There is plenty of clearance between the footpeg bolt and the swingarm but the bracket is fairly flexible.

The cause might be shot swingarm bearings.

and on every little ooopsss it fell down on exactly on this place

ciao Joachim

will get picks tonight swing arm bearings are fine and i would expect scratch marks up and down on swing arm if it was pressing on it during riding??

If the bearings are ok it's probably due to a fall and the footpeg bolts striking the swingarm as Joachim said.

Mike

yep think you both are right, no damage or sign of crash on bike think it could have been done in shipping container on way from japan maybe packed in to tight or no strapped down properly? cheers
