The swingarm is a component of the motorbike chassis that connects the rear wheel to the frame.
There are different types of swingarms, which vary in design depending on the model and manufacturer, such as single or double swingarm, aluminium or steel swingarm and articulated swingarm.
Proper swingarm maintenance, such as regular lubrication, checking for cracks or deformation and adjusting chain tension, is important for the safety and performance of the motorbike.
A damaged or worn swingarm can cause the rear wheel to be guided unevenly, which can affect the motorbike's control and stability.
