Thank you. The chain clicking noise is completely gone now that I've cleaned the chain and put some gear oil on it. The play with the hub is about 1/4" as you say so that's good to know.

Now I have a new problem. The ignition cuts off as soon as I put the bike in gear. I have no idea what I've done to mess that up. So far as I recall, I did not touch any wires and it doesn't feel like there is a clutch issue as I can do it with the rear tire suspended and it doesn't try to turn or anything. Looks like I'll be spending some time with the owner's manual, hehe.


// and now just learned about the kick stand safety switch, so there that is and I'm smarter now.
