Default Making sure rear wheel is aligned?

Well i just started doing 2nd gear wheelies and everytime i pop it up it wobbles real bad. I know usually that mens im choppin the throttle to hard but it happens even when i keep the throttle still. Someone told me my rear wheel might not be aligned right so im wondering how can i check it to make sure its perfectly straight. It looks like the lines on the swingarm are worn down and i can barely see them

You can usually measure from point to point. Like where the axle nut rests on one side to the end of the swingarm, or another stationary point that is the same. with mine i measure the space left over and make sure it is perfectly equal. Once you tighten everything back down, measure again to make sure nothing moved... good luck

They make special tools to do this if you want to spend the money. You can put a straight edge on your rear sprocket and make sure it lines up with the front one. It can be a little hard on these bikes thought, thats why the tool is nice.
