How do you know if your swingarm is bent?
Hello,
Something is misalinged with the rear end of my Blaster. When standing over, looking down on the machine, the left rear wheel appears farther forward than the right one. Nothing is visibly"bent" but everything appears to be tilted to the one side. How can you tell if your swingarm is bent? Nothing feels wobbly or boncy when ridden, and the chain stayed on during the 2 quick rides I took on it....any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank

You should check the rear wheel bearings. If shot, they will not hold the axle perpendicular to the swing arm. Does the axle move front to back or side to side??
Also check the rear sprocket for excessive wear on its sides. This would also indicate a severe misalignment.
