I had to completely loosen the rear axle bolt, fully loosen the alignment adjusters and then I had a hell of a time getting the chain onto the front sprocket with the rear wheel pushed all the way forward.

I struggled with it for 30 mins and finally got it on.

Once it was one, it provides just enough loose chain play to what I would deem acceptable, obviously the chain will stretch a little bit.

Important to note that my chain is not pulled completely tight with this set up, it is just enough slack.

If you manage to get your chain on and see that it has no play to it... its a no go and you need a new chain or you will sheer off those rear sprocket bolts ..everyone seems to be doing that.

Could even be a small thing like the 17 tooth I have is slightly smaller compared to the one you have.
thanks KoQ.....yea i have a 2020 and its pretty close but no cigar..... it may fit after the chain has stretched a bit or if i get the smaller rear sprocket.... i am swapping out those rear sprocket bolts with honda one anyway....maybe i'll do the chain, sprocket and bolts...


. for now i just put back on the 15 tooth sprocket...
