Hey Guys,

Time to do some Chain Maintenance. Got 600 Miles already on my 2016 Ninja! Got a generic swing arm stand and Maxima chain cleaner and chain lube, then realized I needed to buy swing arm spools. I got a set from Cycle Gear but they were 6mm (had no idea) and returned them for 10mm I forget the brand but I couldn't get them to screw in. They were supposed to be for Kawasaki. So question is, is there an issue with the Ninja swing arm spool hole or did I just get a cheap brand for spools? Should I try the Shogun? That seems like what most people are using? I've been researching and seeing things like I need to get a fine thread and check the Pitch? I don't know that pitch is and then if that doesn't work I'll need to get a "Tap tool"? Not sure what that is either. Any thoughts, Issues or experience like that? Thatnks!
