2009 Stella 2T Shock Coil Rubbing against Tire

Hi guys,

I just noticed this gray streak across my tires. I looked up in the wheel well and noticed that the shock coil was less than 1 cm away from the tire. Is this normal? Which screws should I tighten?

Thanks.

is your offset right, one side of the rim is deeper than the other.

I had something similar on my 09 at delivery....weird sound over bumps.
The rear spring was just touching the inside of the fender.

Easy fix......with the bike on the stand grab the spring and forcefully twist it 1/4 turn.....any direction.
This puts the spring in a more favorable position on the spring seats.
Turn it a bit this way, a bit that way.....you'll find a sweet spot and all will be well.
