Tire clearences can vary with manufacturers. However, the tire should never touch the swing arm if it is the correct size.. Designs differ, but the size specs do not.
If your tire is touching the swing arm, it is possible,as Enlightened stated, that the sidewall has a slipped latteral belt...
The more likely cause is worn swing arm bushings, under inflated tire, frame misalignment, incorrect wheel, wornwheel bearingsor a bent axle...
This should be corrected asap before disaster strikes... :action:
