My friend had a trailboss with that same problem.I think he ingnored it for quite some time.And when we got to looking at it the bolt that holds the swingarm on had been wotherd out.So if i was you i would find a rench to fit the bolt and tighten it as tight a frekin possiable.It looked to me that if he was to not tighten the bolt then the swingarm might come off the machine.
If you are talking about some other part of the swingarm then i am sorry for wasting your time.But i hope i helped..

Red loctite. Take things apart, clean 'em up with a non-residual cleaner like brake cleaner. Use the red loctite and fix it right, then you won't have to worry about it.

I had the same problem with my 400 scram...the bolt on the right side kept coming loose so i took it to the shop and the repair man said that the manufactorer didn't put enough loctight on it. so i went to the local auto parts store and bought the heavy duty locktie and I havnt had a problem since and thats been about 4 months ago. They also said that jumping and landing hard on the rear end may have added to the loosening of the bolt but i cleaned the inside and out of the hole and the bolt and soked it in locktie and havnt had a problem since !!!
