Hey all,
So I decided to clean and lube my chain for the first time today aand I noticed that there seemed to be some missing parts at the end of my swingarm. On the right, both nuts and the plate(washer thing? Not sure what to call it...), and on the left, just one nut. See pics... From what I understand those pieces keep my rear wheel aligned...so I'm assuming riding my bike in it's current condition is not wise...
Question is, where should I look for these parts? Should a dealer have them? Or should I look online somewhere? They ARE important, right? Any help would appreciated.
This is only my second post here--I just got the bike in June after passing MSF safety course in May. Been loving it so far but this has me confused as to how this happened and a little nervous that I've been riding with it like that...I'm new to bikes but don't be gentle. =P
