Skin Mechanic also has a good write up on his engine bolt replacement. It should be the same for Vaders as I'm pretty sure they're all the same when it comes down to it. I will go ahead and order some replacement bolts too since this seems to be too common.
Not sure about the swing arm, but will look into it.
It is surprising that your chain is loosening up frequently. The main nut on your rear wheel should prevent that from happening right? Between that and the chain adjustment nuts, I don't know what else can contribute to that.

I've tightened it 2 times already and I don't ride it that much. I'm not sure what to do about it.
