I don't know how I managed to do this. Last night, I lowered the bike from the pitbull rear stand. Somehow in the dark, it was caught by the card board I had underneath n managed to free it. Unbeknown to me, I went my merry way and back despite having a bent swingarm bolt. Ouch. That's the only explanation i can find for what happen.
Now I got to find a bolt for it
Moral of the story - watch out when using rear stand I guess :-(

Well shitbiscuits. :P
I learned to hate those adjuster bolts and plates when I had my 900. Had a bolt back out and shear twice.
So a tangential lesson: "use loctite."
Damn, looks like your swingarm bent as well. Le me know if you're looking for a replacement. I've got my stock 620 swingarm sitting in my garage. Had about 6500 miles on it when removed.

Looks fixable from the quick inspection. But the bolt, looks like I will have to order that n let the waiting begin ..... That is gonna suck.
Out of curiosty, if all fails, PM me pricing on the swingarm.
Thx.

Never had a problem if I snugged the adjusters up after tightening the axle.

Mine is always getting loose after adjust it. Since the mile 0 I got this bike.

Same here. This will help though, just in case:

Looks less ghetto than that make the beast with two backsed up mess in the first pic ;D
I do the same thing with the zip-tie. I've seen it drilled and safety wired too, which probably is a little less ghetto. I've never had the adjuster come loose, but twice I've had the chain tighten up by over tightening the adjuster bolt after tightening that axle nut.

Then the axle wasn't 'tight'. ;D

Maybe, but it works. The axle nuts are kinda grungy too. Do I loose points for that?
Hmm may have to do what u did COP TZR. Thx 4 pics.
Ordered the nut. Let the waiting begin...

The axle is one of the things I do use a torque wrench on, as well as the adjuster bolt. Still seems hit or miss so the ghetto zip-tie is the back-up
