The swingarm on motorcycles, including the Honda Hornet 160R, is designed to have a slight curve or bend when viewed from the rear. This is intentional and serves a purpose in the overall suspension and handling characteristics of the motorcycle.
The curved shape of the swingarm allows for better shock absorption and improved stability during acceleration, braking, and cornering. It helps in absorbing the forces and vibrations transmitted from the rear wheel to the frame of the motorcycle, providing a smoother ride and reducing the stress on the frame and other components.
While the swingarm may appear slightly bent or curved, it should not have any excessive deformation or damage. If you notice a significant bend or distortion in the swingarm of your Honda Hornet 160R, it could indicate a problem or damage that requires attention. In such cases, it is recommended to have your motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic or Honda service center to determine the cause and address any necessary repairs or replacements.
