yeah i just got it like a week and a half ago. it is my first bike.
here is the story of the bike, the original owner of the bike who i have no clue who it was got arrested for one reason or another and the bike sat for three months with the towing company who in turn got the title for the bike and then sold it to a guy who owns a car shop. i then got it from him so i hardly know any history on it. its a 2000 750 with 27,000 miles on it. the duc dealership told me it was supposed to have a major service done at 24k so idk if that happened or not so i guess i should get it in for that. (is this something that Randy McCarter can do? or should i take it in to the dealership?)
anyways as far as why it was loose.... when we went to put it back on the huge nut on the left side of the wheel was hardly even hand tight
as was one of the smaller ones on the rear of the swingarm... so im guessing that had something to do with it. the guy i got it from said he replaced the brake pads so im just guessing that maybe he didnt tighten everything up to spec when he put it back on..... i guess i was lucky the chain coming off was all that happened.
