When I grabn onto the back of my Recon and shake it back and fourth there is a lot of play in the swingarm where it attaches to the frame.
I went to go tighten it but you can't!!!!!
there is no nut on either side of the swingarm linkage.
What can I do about this???

I was thinking of drilling a hole in the swingarm bolt housing and screwing in a greese fitting, then pumping in a whole lot of greese and see if that stops the shaking.
What do you think????

take it to the dealer
do not alter anything that vital, there may be some little adjustment that will fix it. you may end up hurting it more.

I feels like a metal cap or really really hard plastic.
I will try to remove it but I don't think I can
