How to align my rear wheel?

How do I perfectly align the rear wheel on my 2006 China-made Sikk MX XL 125 pit bike?

I put on some stunt begs from a bmx bike and I cant seem to get the wheel all the way straight or atleast it doesnt seem like it is cuz it veers when I wheelie on the back pegs? any help's appreciated!!

measure one side of the swingarm to the peg, do the same on the other side until both measurments are equal..You should have alignment notches on your swingarm, but if you cant see them cause of the pegs, just measuring like i mentioned..

Make sure your chain is adjusted properly after you tighten everything up .
(I like to check the chain slack with the two wheels on the ground and the bike in the upright position , off the kickstand)

Re: How to align my rear wheel?

Thanks, it seems to be pulling to one side durinf wheelies, especially when I have both feet on the stunt pegs. not as much when I'm staggered and not really @ all when Im sit-down. Do I need to align my wheel or is it something as simple as letting some air out of my back tire and getting motards? I have dirts with stock psi. Thanks again...
