Same as mine, Noticed it when replacing the spring... On my ktm I used a penny bonded to the flap, as it was rubbing on the shock mount, here I'm not sure what will work. Keep us updated.

Try an industrial sized 24" zip tie around the front of the swing arm. I've been using this for years which saves wear on the swing arm by transferring the rubbing to a cheap, easily replaced zip tie.

 

Moved to Tech tips section.

Good idea! I’ve also had some luck heating it with a heat gun and re-forming it a little. Gotta be careful with that though.

Im moving tis because this is not a tech tip. Tech tip section is only for tech tips, instructions on how to install o0r repair something.
