Breakout rain riding?
Hi, Have had my 2014 Breakout since February and have put around 6,000 miles on it and i still have trouble in rain. I have owned roadkings and sporters. Never had any trouble. Could it be front or rear tire? Or bent swingarm?

Could be the tires, especially the rear one with over 6K. What does it look like? Could also be the brand of tire, some are better in the wet than others.
It takes a lot of force to bend a swingarm and most likely there would be other damaged parts. But checking the alignment would be a good idea.

Not every bike handles the same.. Growing up in the PNW I learned one simple thing about riding in the rain and that was, ride according to the conditions of the weather and the road, simple. I've ridden my Springer in the rain many times and I just rode accordingly and no issues at all.
