Hi everyone. I changed my chain and sprox the other week and noticed this dent on the inside of the swing are (chain side) Could one of you run your finger down the inside of the swing arm on your bike and let me know if it's a factory thing and nothing to worry about. I've attached a pic so you can see what i'm seeing.
Thanks.

Yep it`s part of the swingarm,possibly to do with how it`s manufactured/formed at the factory from alloy rectangular extrusion.
