What is wrong? Please help!
Okay so not too long ago I went out and bought my first bike, an 09 ninja 250r. When I first changed the oil there was about twice the amount of oil that it was supposed to have in it (maybe not twice the amount but there was a noticeable amount more) I thought nothing too much of it but a little bit into riding I started to notice that there are a ton of false neutrals when shifting at first I would only find them in between 2nd and third but they began to happen between every gear at some point. Also abour three weeks after I had the bike it began to slip into neutral when I would shift to second (it would be in 2nd for about 8-12 seconds) even if I gave it a firm lick up this would happen. Recently when taking off from a stop there has been a sound that is a little off putting when in the lower rpms. It sounds almost like something in the engine is just dropping and hitting the bottom or something like that and I haven't been able to find anything to point me in the direction of what the issue is. Please help!

That's the first/easiest place to start. If that's fine, I would check the adjustment of the clutch cable (https://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Adjust...e_clutch_cable) and shift mechanism. Check that the linkage moves freely, and lube it while you are there. What oil did you use? I don't expect that the wrong oil could cause the problems, but you want the proper oil. Make sure you are checking the level correctly - https://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/How_do_I_check_my_oil%3F More engine info - https://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Engine If all that checks out, it could be internal transmission problems like taz suggested. Hopefully not. Read this also - https://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=45572 |

If it's crazy-loose it could be jumping and making odd grinding noises.
Here's a how-to for chain adjustment - http://www.canyonchasers.net/video/howto/chain.php |

Not just loose, but chain may also be worn. Measure wear amount and replace if necessary. THEN adjust chain tension.
