Finally putting the bike back together and just want to make sure I am doing everything right. I followed the manual for adjusting chain slack, on center stand, tightest spot, 1.77"-2.17". However I am not sure if I measured at the right spot. Currently there is 2" of play in the chain on the center stand measured between sprockets. I started the bike and put it in gear to see if this was too much slack and the chain seemed way too loose, bouncing around on top. Now when I take it off the center stand will it drastically tighten the chain and I wont have to worry about it bouncing around?
Second, while tightening the rear axel, the wheel does not spin freely as it does when the axel is loose. I dont need to force it hard, but it stops rotating very fast. Not sure if this means I need to replace bearings or if this is normal. I did clean and grease the axel before instal.
