Default yfz 450 axle question

ok i was looking at my axle on my yfz and i noticed the notches/splines on the back where the rear sprocket goes on, well the rear sprocket bolts to the thing thats on the axle, which is where the splines are,they are tweaked a little bit and i looked on the raptor and they arent like that and i havent looked at another yfz yet, but is this normal?

No they are not supposed to be! Just like factory steering stems under enough abuse they can twist. I don't see it hurting anything until you want to replace the rear sprocket. But you must be tourqing it pretty good, you might want to consider aftermarket. Looks like a pretty potent motor you have is your culprit.
