Hey guys. I have an 07 ninja 250. I got it used for like $1k and at some point it had a salvage and rebuilt title. It obviously had something happened in the past

I've had it for a year for mostly local rides not highway. It rides alright beside the engine noise does sound very raggedy. And the shifting is a little jerky.

I took it to a nearby motorcycle mechanic to get a new front tire.

When I went to pick it up he told me 2 things:

He says that after putting back the wheel on he went to tighten some part To attach the wheel (I can't remember what) and when he did it too tight it would lock up the wheel so he had to loosen it a bit. He said the cottor pins would keep the wheel in place tho.

Sounds weird?

Also he starts saying the bike is unsafe and the it looks like it could "blow up" I'm like huh?

He wants to do a $300 tune up. But he doesn't specify exactly what he will do in the tune up.

I'm not sure if I should just let him do the tune up.

Any thoughts. What's up with the tire. What about the tune up. What would you do of you were me?
