Yes. My bike is at the dealership getting a new swing arm because the bolts cross threaded the first adjustment
Which bolts are you guys refereing to? I would like to check mine if they are cross threaded.
The 2 pinch bolts you gotta loosen up on the swing aem to adjust your chain.

Just adjust my chain. The quickshifter works correctly again, too much slack(40mm). 5 min to complete

Here is what I'm using, it works great. I ordered one for user: Pheroux too.

What was the issue with the quickshifter? No smooth gearshifts with too much slack?
By the way, do you measure chain slack with the bike on the centre stand or on the side stand?

Ok, thanks. Didn't the quickshifter work properly with too much slack?

:clap: Just a short note on OEM tool kit, When I picked up the bike I told the owner of the dealership about the crap tool kit on the $22,000 bike .While doing the paperwork he came in the room and handed me the tool kit from my trade in 2015 ZX14R :clap:

This tool is on it's way. They couldn't deliver today somehow, tracked it and let's see if it arrives tomorrow. Trusting T-dawg, that it fits! Will let you guys know, when it arrives!

Given his experience, I am more than confident it does!
