So I recently purchased a 2005 ninja 250 after getting rid of my harley fxst back in January. I've been reading forums for a couple weeks now and researching. But I'm lost.
I bought the bike it had tons of slack in the chain I tightened it up. It loosened back up right away and it had tight spots while spinning so now I have replaced chain ordered front and rear sprockets made by JT. Went with 15 front 45 rear. Well once I got them on I noticed the front sprocket has play in it and will slide on the shaft about 1 mm each way is this normal? it's making a clicking sound while spinning the rear wheel by hand. I cant seem to get it aligned or something I'm lost and need help. I'm tired measuring from swingarm bolts but exhaust interfears. Need help please!!!!!!!
