ok then i can't help. if you look i think there is two or four bolts on the rear of the swingarm, and if you loosen them theres somekind of adjuster you move and i will move the whole swingarm back slightly.

There are 4 bolts on the back and top of the swing-arm that have to be loosened, then adjust the bolts (the two sticking out the end of your swing-arm).

hey, you have to make sure you take the brake caliper off first, and make sure you turn the two bolts on the back of the swing arm evenly to get even wear.
