I got home from work this evening and noticed a drop of liquid on my rear tyre. As I watched another drop landed on it. It was coming out of the end of the swinging arm, where the chain adjuster plate fits.
You can just see a drip in the photo. It was raining this morning, but the ride home was dry.

I undid the two locknuts and prised the plate away from the arm and about an eggcup full of water came out and then scraped a load of mud out of the end.

How did it get in there? and how can I stop it happening again?
I squirted a load of ACF50 up inside the arm to try to get the moisture out and stop any rusting.

Nothing to worry there, I have already replied with a comment in the pict gallery, the swingarm has holes to let water and condensation out.

Thanks Cap'n

Glad to hear 'they all do that', but was shocked at how much water came out.

Dripping again today.
