    Rear spring /shock setup

    I noticed theres a chip on the paintwork on the rear subframe of the bike in between the first and second coil...
    Like the spring is too close to it. You'd struggle to put a fingernail inbetween the coil and the subframe, i cant remember it being that close!

    I know my mech changed something to make it handle better, but theres a chip now and abit of black on the spring...

    Wtf is happening?

    Mine touched too, all stock. Just rotate the coil a little so the coils aren't near that part of the subframe (without changing preload) you'll be fine.
