On each side of your swing arm bolt,there will be a washer looking piece with a threaded shaft on it.The threaded shaft goes thru a metal mount on your frame,just behind your motor.On each side of the mount,there should be a nut.On both sides of the bike,loosen the nuts towards the front .Then tighten the rear nuts down to take up the slack.After that take the first two nuts, you loosened,tighten them back down till they are tight against the frame mount.I hope i explained good enough.Its alot easier to do in person!! Good Luck!

The bolts will be right beside your feet.More towards your ankles or a little behind.There will be 1 on each side of the bike.The swing arm pivot bolt goes thru them on each side.Since they were notorious for braking,someone may have took them off.

now that someone has mentioned this, how do you take a bike chain off the frame without braking it?

Actually now that I think about it, I think some stocker's have to be cut because they are pressed on. I dont really remember though
