Means it's gone over at the can's been pushed into the swingarm. It should be fine to ride as normal though, I see now reason why it wouldn't.

Its bad if its an insurance claim, thats what they wrote my zxr400 off on. £568.30 + vat from kawasaki.

If its something you have just discovered you should be fine. Its been dropped on its RHS pushing the can into the swingarm, 2nd hand ones are cheap enough on ebay if you are a perfectionist.

Even the bike falling off a paddock stand will cause such a dent.

IMO the stainless sounded better than carbon, G force did a nice one for £99 that didnt mess up the fueling.

You should look on ebay see if there is any going cheep.

Race cans, nice and meaty.
I have a ART carbon can fitted, it sounds sweet.
Gotta keep hold of the road legal one though for MOTs.

Mine has a similar dent on the opposite side of the swing arm......

Was told there'd be no reason anything should come of it, my bike was even police inspected......
