Guys thanks a lot for your replies!!!, it makes me feel a little better that I wont have to spend more on labor and parts that what the bike is worth. I was already losing sleep bout this, and I was even calling a "certified mechanic" that I found on craigslist last night.. to add fuel to the fire, I was youtubing when I came across a ninja 250 video titled "transmission exploded 250" and so, I was sure that was gonna happen to mine soon.... hahahaha thankfully I found this forum in time.

To answer some questions above, Yes I did get the owner's manual with the bike and some tools too! Which I thought it was pretty cool. Yes, Oil and filter was changed, (though I never saw that). Other than that the bike runs great, I mean when I start it up in the morning I just give it a little choke and it runs perfect, after a few minutes I retract the choke and it idles fine. First is kind of jumpy and clunky but nothing serious, so I sort of like to start in 2nd. Sometimes..

What I'm doing next is, *Oil change (even though the seller said they did it recently)
* adjust the clutch lever on my left hand side... (9/16's of an inch)? I suppose?
-
* and I how do I adjust the shift lever on my foot using the KISS method? theres the foot peg thing you shift going up or down, then a rod, then that rod is attached to a knob, it that what I'm supposed to adjust?

Again thanks for all your replies!! I appreciate your time.
