Answer
Svilen, What you'll need to do is lossen the axle nut and loosen the adjusters so you can put the chain back on. Once you've accomplished that, the adjusters should be tightened evenly on both sides untill you have about 1.5 - 2 inches of play in the chain, i would reccomend closer to the 1.5 inch mark.
Once you've got that, (the bikes rear wheel need to be in the air) You'll need to spin the wheel in the forward motion until the chain moves slightly to the inside of the sproket. This gives the wheel/ swingarm room to flex (which it does) very slightly, but it does, thus keeping the chain to the center of the sproket.

Once you have that, re-thighten your axle, and your good to go!

Hope this helps!
