exposed threads on swingarm? is this normal?

Yes. They have a threaded spacer essentially that compensates for any "gap" between frame and motor. Same with a GSXR, for example. Kind of a layman response, but yes, they are a threaded spacer...

Basically, you can remove the swingarm bolt and the spacer still snug (they have a low ft lbs rating), the swingarm will not move much if at all. You then need to loosen the spacers and the swingarm will drop right out. Boom.
