My exhaust header was securely attached to the cylinder head. However, I did tighten the bolts a little more to prevent any possible problems.

My drive chain was slightly, but not excessively tight. I rode a few hundred miles before I loosened both adjuster bolts 1/6 turn. I did check the sprocket alignment. The center of the rear axle was aligned the exact same distance from the swingarm bolt on both sides of the motorcycle.

The rear axle adjustment nuts were tight on my motorcycle. However, I do strongly encourage everyone to verify these nuts are tight on a regular basis. If one, or both of these nuts ever loosen, you can damage one, or all of the wheel bearings.
